Christian Hebenstreit is COO at Biotx.ai, a company that provides insights into the human genome, to find new cures. When people ask me why I joined a genomic analytics startup after having spent ...

Get ready for some incomprehensibly big numbers. Scientists are predicting that genomics — the field of sequencing human DNA — will soon take the lead as the biggest data beast in the world ...

Decoding all six billion bases or letters on the human genome isn’t a straightforward task. Gene-sequencing equipment reads relatively small pieces of DNA at a time and gradually assembles ...

Today, genomics is saving countless lives and even entire species, thanks in large part to a commitment to collaborative and ...

30 years since the Human Genome Project began, ... That sounds like a big lift, in terms of digitizing and analyzing all that biological data. Of the big challenges that lie ahead for us, ...

The Human Genome Project produced an almost complete order of the 3 billion pairs of chemical letters in the DNA that embodies the human genetic code -- but little about the way this blueprint works.

It has never been easier, cheaper, or quicker to sequence a person’s genome, but interpreting those sequences is tricky, absent a comprehensive reference library of human genetic variation.

Scientists Just Made a Massive Change to the Human Genome: The ‘Pangenome’ It’s a maze in there—and that’s a good thing. By Jackie Appel Published: May 10, 2023 3:21 PM EDT ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

The PHG Foundation warmly welcomes the recently published WHO principles for human genome data collection, access, use and sharing. It is a timely and important contribution to global governance, ...

Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity. The new “pangenome” incorporates the DNA of 47 individuals from every ...
