Utz is a science communicator, public historian, and archivist, formerly at the National Human Genome Research Institute. I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has ...

A race, two rivals, a photo finish? Former National Human Genome Research Institute archivist explains what Craig Venter ...

A team of UK-based researchers is going where no scientist has dared to go—writing artificial human DNA from scratch. They’re hoping the project will answer fundamental questions about the human ...

In the 1990s Venter bet that he could use a sequencing technique to speed up the decoding of the human genome and he beat an enormous government effort called the Human Genome Project.

July 2025 will mark the 25th anniversary of the UC Santa Cruz Genome Browser, one of the most widely used resources for genomics worldwide. Originally built to allow researchers to explore a single ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. A major milestone has been reached, with experts across Europe, ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Human Genome Project, a monumental scientific achievement that has transformed healthcare and laid the foundation for modern genomics.

The first phase of the U.K. synthetic human genome project has successfully completed, realizing key steps in chromosome synthesis. The work has demonstrated a multistep method for transfecting mouse ...

The first complete draft of the human genome was published back in 2003. Since then, researchers have worked both to improve the accuracy of human genetic data, and to expand its diversity, looking at ...
