In 1990, governments around the world, with the leadership of the United States, began a 13-year effort to map human DNA through the Human Genome Project (HGP). I believe we can achieve such ...

Mapping the Genome’s 3D Structure The research team discovered that the genome arranges itself into two distinct compartments: one active and accessible, the other more tightly packed and inactive.

Researchers have begun working on a new, controversial project to produce human DNA from scratch. It is believed to be the first of its kind effort which, if successful, could lead to new ...

Cold sore virus hijacks human genome in 3D--and scientists found its weak spot HSV-1 reshapes the human genome for its own benefit. Targeting a host enzyme can completely halt the hostile takeover ...

Now, the Wellcome Trust, the world’s largest medical charity, has coughed up about $11.7 million (£10 million) to kickstart the Synthetic Human Genome Project (SynHG).

T he Human Genome Project was among the most ambitious scientific efforts in modern history, with the aim of deciphering the chemical makeup of the entire human genetic code. The sequence of some ...

The NHGRI's original purpose was to support the Human Genome Project, the precursor to the T2T Consortium that aimed to generate the first sequence of the human genome. In 2003, the Human Genome ...

Despite spanning about three billion base pairs, the human genome is wrapped up tight in a highly organized fashion in the nucleus. This coordinated structure, in part, enables the cell to regulate ...

My job was to preserve and provide access to the records of the Human Genome Project, for which NHGRI was created in 1988 to lead at the NIH. Since 2012, my colleagues and I have managed a digital ...
