The Human Genome Project changed everything. A map of the entire human sequence of DNA was the starting point for an enormous number of discoveries, from disease genes to how humans evolved. But DNA ...

Explore the decades-long journey to map the full human genome, from early breakthroughs to the first complete, gapless DNA sequence.

Dr. Theodore Kalbfleisch, a professor of veterinary science at the University of Kentucky Maxwell H. Gluck Equine Research Center, will lead a team of researchers as they genetically map 11 horse ...

A wave of spatial transcriptomics studies has produced gene-expression atlases that span entire organs and whole organisms, from mouse embryos to the roundworm C. elegans to 31 human tissues. These ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

The pathology of mental disorders is complex. Researchers can’t just attribute mental disorders to one or a few single mutations in a gene or protein — there are too many factors at play. After all, ...

Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes ...

Crinkle, from Stoke-on-Trent, has been central to the project Researchers say they have achieved a "world first" by successfully mapping the DNA of a monkey in Staffordshire. The groundbreaking genome ...
