Researchers announced a major scientific milestone–the mapping of the human genome. Dr. Emily Senay explained what this means for science, medicine and humanity. This breakthrough is as ...

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity. One of the more intriguing discoveries in recent years is the i ...

The human genome is, at long last, complete Date: March 31, 2022 Source: Rockefeller University Summary: Twenty years ago scientists declared the Human Genome Project complete, but eight percent ...

When people think of DNA, they usually think of genes, the parts that code for proteins and drive inherited traits. But there ...

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.

The first human genome was completed in April 2003, but it left behind some unknown gaps, including swathes of the Y chromosome. The chromosome’s repetition made it a challenge to reconstruct.

The mapping is considered one of the greatest scientific feats in history. Last spring, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, co-led by Prof. Miga, announced it had assembled the first complete ...

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.

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.

DNA's double helix has long stood as the symbol of life’s code. But buried within the genome lies a deeper level of complexity.
