An investment here could have big implications for drug costs, value-based care, and population health. Seventeen health systems are investing in a genomic database that could significantly drive down ...

What if you could harness the power of everything that makes you biologically you—your sex, ancestry, genetic minutiae—to help accelerate drug discovery and prevent and cure diseases? The health care ...

Scientists first read the human genome, a three-billion-letter biological book, in April 2003. Since then, researchers have steadily advanced the ability to write DNA, moving far beyond single-gene ...

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 ...

How much carbon can the ocean absorb, and what happens to it as the planet warms? Sonya Dyhrman, a microbial oceanographer and professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, is trying to answer these ...

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 ...

The holidays bring out the wishful thinker in all of us. Some of us pine for that car that folds up into a suitcase. Others hope for something more eco-friendly, like a matter transporter. A few ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

In January 2025, the government of India announced the completion of the GenomeIndia Project, which entailed sequencing the genomes of 10,000 Indians across 83 communities. The project, launched in ...

The PGP has coalesced over the last few years as the result of the precipitous drops in the cost of DNA sequencing, the inadequacies of the current informed consent paradigm for large-scale, ...

Researchers with Baylor College of Medicine and Texas A&M AgriLife Research collaborated with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service, SCINet project and Ag100Pest Initiative ...
