Scientists from the 4D Nucleome Consortium at UMass Chan Medical School mapped the human genome in 3D over time, uncovering ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

The ability to sequence and edit human DNA has revolutionized biomedicine. Now a new consortium wants to take the next step and build human genomes from scratch. The Human Genome Project was one of ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

The Human Genome Project was a massive undertaking that took more than a decade and billions of dollars to complete. For it, scientists collected... The dubious consent question at the heart of the ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Thanks to increasingly efficient and affordable gene sequencing technologies, we can now chart our genetic blueprint in unprecedented detail. But what does each gene do? Of the roughly 20,000 genes ...

In January 2025, the government of India announced the completion of the GenomeIndia Project, which entailed sequencing the genomes of 10,000 Indians across 83 communities. The project, launched in ...
