A vast stretch of islands across the South Pacific holds one of the oldest human stories on Earth. For tens of thousands of ...

What if you could precisely change the genome of a pre-implantation human embryo and then safely use that embryo to try to ...

Throughout human ecological history, we have played a variety of roles within ecosystems around the world. In this so-called ...

A new analysis of ancient DNA has found that Neanderthal genomes contain 62 percent more ancestry from anatomically modern ...

A gene can vanish, and life can go on. That is one of the most striking lessons from a sweeping new analysis of 173,303 ...

Studies of genetics conducted in yeast cells, human neurons, mice or other model systems often reveal networks of genes that ...

In a breakthrough that redefines both speed and clinical potential, a new world record for the fastest human whole genome sequencing has been set. Think of all the things that can be done in four ...

From data to deployment. Pipeline from single-base tokenization of >600 high-quality human ge-nomes into a MoE Transformer optimized for up to ~1 Mb context, and downstream use for embed-dings, ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

Understanding human gene function in living organisms has long been hampered by fundamental differences between species. Although mice share most protein-coding genes with humans, their regulatory ...

Utz is a science communicator, public historian, and archivist, formerly at the National Human Genome Research Institute. I’d be willing to bet that most of the U.S. population above the age of 35 has ...
