The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

The ability to sequence and edit human DNA has revolutionized biomedicine. Now a new consortium wants to take the next step and build human genomes from scratch. The Human Genome Project was one of ...

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 ...

The world's largest medical charity has given the go-ahead to begin research on what could be the next giant leap in biology. This project aims tocreate artificial human DNA from scratch, according to ...

When researchers working on the Human Genome Project completely mapped the genetic blueprint of humans in 2001, they were surprised to find only around 20,000 genes that produce proteins. Could it be ...

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 ...

In 2003, the Human Genome Project made history by sequencing 92 percent of the human genome, which created breakthroughs in medicine such as the ability to identify specific mutations that may lead to ...

Jim Kent knew a thing or two about coding. A veteran of the early days of personal computing, Kent developed software for Amiga, Atari and IBM computers throughout the 1980s, including pioneering ...
