Explore the decades-long journey to map the full human genome, from early breakthroughs to the first complete, gapless DNA ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

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 ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and open science that the Human Genome Project helped promote. Twenty-five ...

Work has begun on something once-unthinkable: creating human DNA from scratch. Artificial DNA has long been an ethical minefield, with fears of a generation of ‘designer babies’ with pick ‘n’ mix ...

The MCM helicase is broadly bound across the genome, and its phosphorylation is antagonistically regulated by the kinase DDK and the phosphatase RIF1–PP1. TRESLIN–MTBP recognises the phosphorylated ...

The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia. Genomic research by members of Sarah Tishkoff's lab at the University of ...

Human DNA in its natural state inside cells (left) compared to eight hours after being infected with HSV-1 (right). The virus compacts the human genome’s size significantly and moves it towards the ...

Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s DeepMind now claims to have found a revolutionary use case for AI: helping ...
