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

In a recent review published in Nature, a group of authors reviewed the progress and challenges in annotating the human genome, including protein-coding genes, isoforms, and non-coding ribonucleic ...

The Human Genome Project was among the most ambitious scientific efforts in modern history, with the aim of deciphering the chemical makeup of the entire human genetic code. The sequence of some 3 ...

WHEN THE first draft of the DNA sequence that makes up the human genome was unveiled in 2000, America’s president at the time, Bill Clinton, announced that humankind was “learning the language with ...

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 ...

ARC Innovation at Sheba Medical Center, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and NVIDIA are collaborating to leverage artificial intelligence for genomic discovery using large language model ...

A team of UK-based researchers is going where no scientist has dared to go—writing artificial human DNA from scratch. They’re hoping the project will answer fundamental questions about the human ...

Twenty years ago last month, scientists sequenced the first human genome in the landmark Human Genome Project. Among the many things they discovered was that while any two humans have 99.6 percent of ...

An effort to expand on the Human Genome Project by capturing the diversity of people around the world has produced the first draft of a new resource called the “pangenome reference”. The pangenome ...

Researchers disagree on the number of genes in the human genome, in part because what exactly a gene is can be difficult to determine. At the turn of the century, while awaiting the completion of the ...
