Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and open science that the Human Genome Project helped promote. Twenty-five ...

The 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 3 ...

The ability to sequence and edit human DNA has revolutionized biomedicine. Now a new consortium wants to take the next step and build human genomes from scratch. The Human Genome Project was one of ...

The Human Genome Project was a massive undertaking that took more than a decade and billions of dollars to complete. For it, scientists collected DNA samples from anonymous volunteers who were told ...

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.

Venter, who died on April 29, is a posthumous co-author on what is likely to be his final contribution to science ...

David Botstein, Princeton’s Anthony B. Evnin ‘62 Professor of Genomics, Emeritus, and an emeritus professor of molecular biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, died on Feb.

Twenty-five years ago today, on July 7, 2000, the world got its very first look at a human genome — the 3 billion letter code that controls how our bodies function. Posted online by a small team at ...
