The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...
BETHESDA, MD.—Behind the scenes of the Human Genome Project—the 15-year, $3 billion effort to decipher our genetic makeup—researchers are working on a different sort of code. In a high-rise tower on ...
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 ...

A broad-ranging international collaboration reports today (April 20) in PLoS Biology the validation of more than 21,000 human gene candidates, including more than 5100 new genes and nearly 300 ...
It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...
One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...
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 ...
Around 98.5% of human DNA is non-coding, meaning it doesn’t get copied to make proteins. A new study has connected many of these non-coding regions to the genes they affect and laid out guidelines for ...
Scientists have suspected that modern humans have more genes to digest starch than our hunter-gatherer ancestors, but the amylase locus of the genome is hard to study. Researchers have now developed ...
Somerville, Mass., 07/09/2025 – The human oral microbiome, a diverse community of microorganisms in the mouth, performs many key physiological functions that can benefit or harm the human host, ...
