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 ...

For many scientists, the first glimpse of a DNA sequence—those colored peaks marking A, T, C, and G—sparked a lifelong fascination with the code that shapes us all. That same spirit of discovery ...

Officially unveiled at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2025 meeting held in Boston, Genomics has launched Mystra, an AI-enabled human genetics platform designed to accelerate drug target ...

Botstein, Princeton’s Anthony B. Evnin ‘62 Professor of Genomics, Emeritus, and an emeritus professor of molecular biology ...

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells, a molecular arms race that ...

Age, biological sex, and human genetic factors influence the production of antibodies during the immune response. A team of scientists from the Institut Pasteur, the CNRS and the Collège de France ...

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 ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

Scientists discover a genetic adaptation in Kenya’s Turkana people that helps them survive drinking much less water without kidney damage.

A new genome-wide study uncovers evidence of the first three-way relationships between human genetic variation, variation in the fungal component of the human microbiome - known as the mycobiome - and ...
