Since the mapping of the human genome in 2003, synthetic biology has reached a new milestone. British researchers are now ...

The Human Genome Project, which was originally scheduled to be completed in 2005, suddenly found itself in a dramatic race to finish their genome sequence five years early. The sequencing centers ...

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

A £10 million Wellcome Trust-funded project seeks to create artificial human genomes. Technology Networks explored the ...

Researchers have begun working on a new, controversial project to produce human DNA from scratch. It is believed to be the ...

Greg Findlay leads the Genome Function Laboratory at the Francis Crick Institute in the UK. His team is one of many around the world that is building on the work of the original project. They’re ...

The human genome contains roughly 3 billion nucleotides and just under 20,000 protein-coding genes – an estimated 1% of the genome’s total length. The remaining 99% is non-coding DNA sequences ...

At the Genome Project-write meeting, scientists unveiled dozens of ways that building genomes might make possible a dazzling litany of futuristic advances.

The Human Genome Project, launched in 1990 and completed in 2003, was hailed as a scientific Second Coming. It was said that the sequencing of the genome would enable us to identify faulty genes ...

If the Human Genome Project (HGP) was an actual human, he or she would be a revolutionary whiz kid. A prodigy in the vein of Mozart. One who changed the biomedical universe forever as a teenager, but ...
