The four groups targeted subsets of protein coding exons from the human genome, and one of them 4 examined virtually all exons. In the near future, there is therefore a realistic prospect of ...

For more basic information about genes, visit the Glossary. A rough draft of the human genome was completed in June 2000. Efforts are underway to complete a final draft of the human genome ...

The human genome comprises both our protein-coding genes and the regulatory information that controls when, and to what extent, those genes are expressed. While humans mostly share the same ...

You are more viral than you think. About 8% of your DNA—far more than is used to build proteins—is made of ancient viruses.

Thirty years out from the start of the Human Genome Project, researchers have finally finished sequencing the full 3 billion bases of a person’s genetic code. But even a complete reference genome has ...

“Diversity” was the buzzword at the Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) summit last month in Durban, South Africa. Genomic research depends on it – yet Africa remains one of the most under ...

“It shows that the contribution [of hominin DNA] is substantial and is larger than I assumed when we first discovered that these extinct hominins had mixed with modern human ancestors.” “The authors’ ...

These types of genetic reports reflect the amount of a person's genome that they've inherited from individuals ... "The ...

Scientists now reveal the results of screening the entire human genome to find factors influencing how many NPCs are assembled. The nuclei in our cells are miniature warehouses safeguarding the ...

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

After serving as the director of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) for more than 15 years, Eric Green, M.D., Ph.D., has left his role. "Eric Green, M.D. Ph.D., is no longer ...
