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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Seattle-area health data company Truveta announced $320 million in fresh funding and an ambitious new initiative to create a giant genomic dataset. The new investment — which comes from 17 health ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

July 2025 will mark the 25th anniversary of the UC Santa Cruz Genome Browser, one of the most widely used resources for genomics worldwide. Originally built to allow researchers to explore a single ...
