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

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

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

Mapping the Genome’s 3D Structure. The research team discovered that the genome arranges itself into two distinct compartments: one active and accessible, the other more tightly packed and inactive.

The Human Genome Project (HGP), the world's largest collaborative biological project, was a 13-year effort led by the U.S. government with the goal of generating the first full sequence of the ...

The joke about the Human Genome Project is how many times it’s been finished, but not actually. The first time was in 2000, when Bill Clinton announced the “first survey of the entire human ...

Congress allocated $3.8 billion for the Human Genome Project from 1988 to 2003, which helped drive $796 billion in economic impact and the generation of $244 billion in total personal income. This was ...

The Human Genome Project truly has changed the scientific landscape, but we’re still only at the very beginning of seeing the world that it’s made possible. Bill Clinton Biology Genetics ...

Then, in 1998, with money from Perkin-Elmer, a scientific-instrument company that was about to launch an upgraded sequencing machine, he set up a rival, private, human genome project, in the shape ...

David Markowitz, a scientist who helped coordinate the project, said the data, published April 9 in the journal Nature marks “a watershed moment for neuroscience, comparable to the Human Genome ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...
