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

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

The project offers a bird’s-eye view of how each gene—and their combinations—keeps our bodily functions humming along. It’s the “next frontier” after the Human Genome Project, wrote the authors.

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

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

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 ...

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

Researchers closely examined the genomes of 65 individuals to paint a more complex, and more complete, picture of human genetic diversity.

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 ...
