In recent years, there has been a dramatic rise of innovation in human genomic technology. This has been most notably seen in new and effective genomic ...

Research shows synthetic chromosomes can be transferred to human cells with potential to improve viral resistance ...

Learn more about what how humans ended up having Neanderthal DNA in their genome and what it means if you have it.

The first phase of the U.K. synthetic human genome project has successfully completed, realizing key steps in chromosome ...

Mount Sinai and Israel’s largest medical center are using artificial intelligence to map the hidden corners of the human genome through a deal with computer processing colossus Nvidia. The three-year ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

Ultima Genomics, an upstart some observers have called a “dark horse” in the world of DNA sequencing, will soon launch a line of high-power instruments that can read a human genome for as little as ...

In the genome, genes that code for protein are often divided into sections called exons, which are separated by spacers called introns. When a region of DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA (mRNA) or ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

A research team led by Professor Luo Shujin from the School of Life Sciences has uncovered a surprising chapter in the ...
