QIMR Berghofer researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the largest ever genetic study on cataracts, analyzing the DNA of more than 950,000 people. The team, led by Associate Professors ...

Thanks to the Human Genome Project, researchers have sequenced all 3.2 billion base pairs in the human genome. How did researchers complete this chromosome map years ahead of schedule? Initial ...

The genetic information in an organism is called its genome. The Human Genome Project, or HGP for short, was started at the end of the last century. It was very ambitious and had several aims ...
