A Ph.D. student in biomolecular engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz, has built a software program ...

Creating genomes from DNA is hugely important for managing threatened species—understanding their past and how they have ...

Human genome editing historically has allowed for precise alterations of single base pairs by excising or inserting new sequences at a single location along the DNA strand. However, conventional gene ...

At MIT, one genome researcher is testing a different approach. Bin Zhang, associate professor of chemistry and the leader of MIT's Zhang Lab, is using artificial intelligence to "unfold" complex ...

The research into long-read whole genome sequencing (WGS) could give food processors more time to initiate sanitation of surfaces before biofilms are formed. Biofilms form on surfaces, are very ...

Home > Science Scientists Encode Human Genome on 'Eternal' 5D Memory Crystal The disc is nearly indestructible and will be readable for many billions of years to come.

The genome of the South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) takes the cake at a staggering 91 billion base pairs of DNA, according to a study published last week in the journal Nature.

More than 20 years after scientists first released a draft sequence of the human genome, the book of life has been given a long-overdue rewrite. A more accurate and inclusive edition of our ...

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 ...

Find out why Evan Eichler, Karen Miga, Adam Phillippy, and Michael Schatz are on TIME's list of the 100 most influential people of 2022.

Sequences of the human genome have typically included gaps in repetitive regions of DNA. A combination of state-of-the-art technologies has now enabled researchers to generate the first complete ...

A job well begun is half done, according to Aristotle. The Human Genome Project, which announced its final release in 2003, was certainly a solid start in surveying our hereditary instructions — and ...
