The history of genomics has long been a story of reading a book where only every fiftieth page made sense. While the Human Genome Project gave us the full sequence of human DNA over two decades ago, w ...

In a way, sequencing DNA is very simple: There's a molecule, you look at it, and you write down what you find. You'd think it would be easy—and, for any one letter in the sequence, it is. The problem ...

New technological advancements have allowed us to look at the entire human genome. The genome is the complete set of genetic information encoded in the DNA. Human DNA has around three billion letters ...

How AI is sequencing the genomes of all known living species on Earth By Abhimanyu Ghoshal November 11, 2025 Sequencing a genome today involves recording and assembling data with a high degree of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...
