committed an initial £10 million to the Synthetic Human Genome Project (SynHG). The concept of synthesizing a human genome, or writing life from scratch, has been considered taboo. Why the controversy ...

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 ...

Sequencing the entire human genome began the following year, and it took 13 years to complete. Not long after, in 2009, Green took the helm of the research institute.
