This AI system can analyze up to one million DNA letters at once, predicting how tiny changes in noncoding regions trigger ...

The human genome contains roughly 3 billion nucleotides and just under 20,000 protein-coding genes – an estimated 1% of the genome’s total length. The remaining 99% is non-coding DNA sequences ...

Since the mapping of the human genome in 2003, synthetic biology has reached a new milestone. British researchers are now ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

Scientists are trying to build a more complete human reference genome, a master blueprint of our DNA used in biomedical and genetic research. One proposal is to decipher the genomes of 3 million ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

Researchers analyzed ancient and modern genetic samples of the Greenlandic Qimmit breed to shed light on the long ...

Forty years after the first effort to extract mummy DNA, researchers have finally generated a full genome sequence from an ...

Scientists with the Synthetic Human Genome Project are trying to create artificial human DNA from scratch, leading to ...

Toward the end of the 20th Century, an international network of geneticists decided to try to sequence all the DNA in our chromosomes. The Human Genome Project was an audacious undertaking, given ...

An international research team has deciphered a mechanism of the evolutionary arms race in human cells. The findings provide ...

When the Human Genome Project launched in 1990, it was hailed as one of the greatest scientific endeavors of all time. The 13-year project identified about 20,000 genes and gave researchers a ...
