Like the genome itself, the project was a kludge. Besides the complication of its international extension via the consortium, even the American part had two masters.

Long-term, heritable changes in gene activity fundamentally shape our biology, trigger many of our diseases, and set the clock on how we age. Now, a team of U of U Health scientists is starting an ...

The era of cheap genome sequencing opened the doors to biology as a data science. The data and findings from the hgp came close to being hidden behind patents. Instead they were opened up to the ...

Key takeaways UC Santa Cruz posted the first human genome sequence online 25 years ago today, launching a revolution in medicine and biology through open-access science. The Human Genome Project was ...

Researchers learned that exciting biology could be gleaned from a whole genome sequence, and this realization sparked genome projects for a multitude of species.

For the 20-year anniversary of this historic event, we took a look back at the Human Genome Project and its impact. How did it shape science moving forward?

The Human Genome Project, which launched a quarter of a century ago this week, still holds lessons for the consortium-based science it ushered in, say Eric D. Green, James D. Watson and Francis S ...

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 ...

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.

Scientists have finally cracked one of the strangest mysteries in reptile biology: how bearded dragons decide their sex.
