An ancient Egyptian buried inside a pot was a potter who was given an elite burial, and now he is giving researchers clues ...

Forty years after the first effort to extract mummy DNA, researchers have finally generated a full genome sequence from an ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

The Synthetic Human Genome, or Syn HG, a project launched on June 26th, aims to change that. Funded partly by Wellcome, a ...

Since the first working draft of a human genome sequence was assembled at UC Santa Cruz in 2000, genomics research has led to enormous advances in our understanding of human biology and disease.

The new reference incorporates more diverse genetic sequences and adds 119 million base pairs to the library of 3.2 billion previously known base pairs that make up the human genome, deepening our ...

A new investigation led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Human Genome Sequencing Center, the Institute of Evolutionary Biology and Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, Spain, and ...

The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, ... (U01HG011755) from the National Human Genome Research Institute; the National Eye Institute; a grant (UM1HG008900) from the National Heart, ...

It took almost twice as long to finish the last 8 percent of the human genome as it did to sequence the first 92 percent. Image Credit: Zita/Shutterstock.com. DOWNLOAD PDF VERSION.

However, the Human Genome Project could not sequence the repetitive DNA, and didn't try. Their method was not up to the challenge. They did not read the entire genome in one go, ...

The original reference human genome sequence is nearly 20 years old and has been regularly updated as technology advances and researchers fix errors and discover more regions of the human genome.
