Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

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, ...

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 was ...

A controversial project that aims to create the building blocks of human life has started. However, in a world first, medical charity the Wellcome Trust, has given an initial £10m to start the project ...

The University of California, Santa Cruz, has played a key role in an international project to catalog all of the biologically functional elements in 1 percent of the human genome. The results of the ...

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 project ...

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 ...

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 ...
