Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

Genomics and life sciences pioneer J. Craig Venter, Ph.D., is back with a new J. | Genomics and life sciences pioneer J.

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

Scientists have pinpointed precise regions in the human genome where DNA is most likely to develop a mutation. At spots where RNA polymerase 'opens' your DNA to read and copy instructions – known as ...

Researchers have unlocked the final gaps in the human genome, and what they tell us could mean big waves for the future 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 ...

New technological advancements have allowed us to look at the entire human genome. The genome is the complete set of genetic information encoded in the DNA. Human DNA has around three billion letters ...

Illumina has named Eric Green as chief medical officer, providing a home to the first National Institutes of Health director ...

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

The complete genome of an ancient Egyptian has been sequenced, revealing genetic links between the Nile and Mesopotamia 5,000 ...
