Researchers have assembled the first telomere-to-telomere, diploid phased genome from a single human cell line ...

Utz is a science communicator, public historian, and archivist, formerly at the National Human Genome Research Institute. I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Scientists have reconstructed the complete genome of a real person, with full sets of chromosomes from each parent, a ...

A new era has opened in which both sets of chromosomes inherited from one’s parents can be completely decoded. So-called ...

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 ...

Researchers reconstructed a complete diploid human genome, adding missing sequence and resolving both parental haplotypes.

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

The first phase of the U.K. synthetic human genome project has successfully completed, realizing key steps in chromosome synthesis. The work has demonstrated a multistep method for transfecting mouse ...
