The first complete draft of the human genome was published back in 2003. Since then, researchers have worked both to improve the accuracy of human genetic data, and to expand its diversity, looking at ...
A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...
A virus that infects nearly all children early in life has, in rare cases, been present within human DNA for thousands of ...
In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...
A novel risk locus at 1q21.2 was identified, with the lead variant near MCL1, a regulator of apoptosis, showing a protective effect. The study revealed a genetic correlation of 0.39 between IPF and ...
Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species.

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 ...
The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...
