Thirty years out from the start of the Human Genome Project, researchers have finally finished sequencing the full 3 billion bases of a person’s genetic code. But even a complete reference genome has ...

Early human evolution may have been more complex than scientists previously thought, with modern humans evolving from two ...

Scientists have uncovered evidence that modern humans emerged from two long-separated ancestral groups, not just one. This ...

The project promises to generate controversy, as did its counterpart, the Human Genome Diversity Project (HGDP). The HGDP was developed in 1991 to map the genetic diversity of hundreds of human ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe.

As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many cellular components need access to the genome to lock it down like Fort Knox. Instead, large groupings of more than 1,000 ...

More than 20 years after the conclusion of the Human Genome Project, Macias and other researchers at Wang Lab in the ...

Vence Bonham, who became acting director of the National Human Genome Research Institute less than two weeks ago, is ...
