Dr. Glen Evans brought the Human Genome Project to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in the 1990s for only a few years. The project's legacy lives on today in the research of UT ...
This new genome map tries to capture all human genetic variation It’s called a pangenome, and it could explain the DNA that makes each of us unique.
Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...
Then scientists mapped a tiny piece of its brain. Scientists say the map of a speck of a mouse's brain could be as transformative as the Human Genome Project. Here's what to know.
NIH’s SMaHT Network will chart trillions of somatic mutations to reveal how our DNA changes over a lifetime. In a nutshell ...
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 ...
This is a map of the genome that highlights the diversity of genetic differences found between people—and could lead to breakthroughs in genetic medicine and treatments.
Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity.
The Human Epigenome Project's pilot study included the development of novel approaches to mapping methylation across the genome. Researchers hope the so-called GOOD assay for epigenotyping, diagrammed ...
Twenty years ago today, an international group of scientists in the Human Genome Project (HGP) published the very first sequence of the human genome. "This is the most important, most wondrous map ...
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.
