Since the Human Genome Project first produced the genetic instructions for a human being by sequencing DNA 22 years ago, ...

Back in 2000, after the Human Genome Project’s leaders announced that a working draft of the human genome had been completed, GEN kicked off its coverage of the event by quoting from a New ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...

Scientists start a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life, in what is thought to be a world first.

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full synthetic human genomes, wary of propelling us into a dystopian, Gattaca ...

The Human Genome Project was about reading DNA, and it sparked an explosion in companies developing tools for DNA sequencing—think of 454, Ion Torrent, Illumina. At Twist, we wanted to do the ...

Twenty years after the first human genome sequence was published, scientists have kicked the sequencing game to the next level with a diverse set of 64 genomes.

Sequencing the entire human genome began the following year, and it took 13 years to complete. Not long after, in 2009, Green took the helm of the research institute.

It has been nearly 20 years since the Human Genome Project released its first cellular-level blueprint of the human body. The revolutionary project proved instrumental in advancing the scientific ...

In the summer of 2000, the Human Genome Project successfully concluded with the first fully sequenced human genome. To commemorate this accomplishment the White House hosted an epic celebration ...
