The entire human genome requires three gigabytes of computer data storage space. (One million base pairs of sequence data ...

The Human Genome Project was launched in 1990, preceded by decades of breakthroughs in genetics. It eventually gave us a ...

Utz is a science communicator, public historian, and archivist, formerly at the National Human Genome Research Institute. I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has ...

Scientists have uncovered gravity’s impact on the human genome—research that reveals how it functions in outer space. The ...

The announcement of the first draft of the human genome 25 years ago was a pivotal moment that transformed the life sciences. It provided the foundational blueprint for understanding human biology and ...

From the race to 'read' life to the race to predict 'what happens if we intervene'~ Introduction: Reading an Ambitious Bio article reminded me of CeleraI recently read an article about a young company ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

A team of UK-based researchers is going where no scientist has dared to go—writing artificial human DNA from scratch. They’re hoping the project will answer fundamental questions about the human ...

Human cells exposed to simulated microgravity showed increased nuclear volume, while genome organization remained stable and no DNA damage occurred.

The first complete draft of the human genome was published back in 2003. Since then, researchers have worked both to improve the accuracy of human genetic data, and to expand its diversity, looking at ...
