Seventeen health systems have launched the Truveta Genome Project to create what Truveta is calling the largest and most diverse database of genotypic and phenotypic information ever assembled. The ...

The non-coding genome, once dismissed as "junk DNA", is now recognized as a fundamental regulator of gene expression and a ...

Scientists start a controversial project to create the building blocks of human life, in what is thought to be a world first.

It's an ambitious and controversial project called the Synthetic Human Genome (SynHG) project, and work has already begun on a proof-of-concept.

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project ...

We mapped the human genome decades ago, but most of it is still a black box. Now, UNSW scientists have developed a tool to peer inside and what they find could reshape how we think about disease.

An international team of scientists a family genome sequences known as “transposable elements,” and found they play a vital role in gene expression.

When scientists first cracked the human genome, they expected to find treasure such as genes that would explain life, health, ...

Researchers have now discovered that HAR123, a regulatory gene sequence, is an important factor in human brain development.

As if sequencing a full human genome wasn't tricky enough, scientists are now attempting to reconstruct our species' genetic material from the ground up. It's an ambitious and controversial ...
