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 ...

With rapid progress in sequencing technologies and the successful completion of the project’s pilot phase, the effort to map the human genetic blueprint gained significant momentum. This acceleration ...

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 ...

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 ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ways that help determine how life functions at the cellular level. In a ...

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 ...

In a landmark effort to understand how the physical structure of our DNA influences human biology, Northwestern investigators and the 4D Nucleome Project have unveiled the most detailed maps to date ...
