For decades, the Y chromosome — one of the two human sex chromosomes — has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure. Now, this elusive ...

For the first time, geneticists have assembled a complete sequence of the Y chromosome. The international Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) Consortium added data for more than 30 million new base pairs ...

The Synthetic Human Genome Project (SynHG) will take decades to complete and cost anything from millions to hundreds of ...

This innovative software, CRISPRware, optimizes guide RNA design for genome editing, supporting research on genetic disorders ...

How the Human Genome Project started. Although pieces of the human genome were sequenced by 1990, when the HGP was formally launched, the project was the first large-scale attempt to identify the ...

In a first, researchers have sequenced the complete genome of a man from ancient Egypt, and the results reveal that he had ...

Researchers have sequenced the first whole ancient Egyptian genome from an individual who lived 4,500 to 4,800 years ago — ...

The first draft of the human genome – our genetic blueprint – was published on 26 June, 2000. It had taken 10 years to ...

On 26 June 2000, the first draft of the human genome was announced, a historic achievement that changed the course of science. Now, experts at the Wellcome Sanger Institute are looking ahead to how ...

An ambitious new research project, SynHG (Synthetic Human Genome), is aiming to develop the foundational and scalable tools, technology and methods needed to synthesise human genomes. Through ...

Scientists have for the first time sequenced the most complete and oldest ancient Egyptian genome ever found—unlocking new ...
