Forty years after the first effort to extract mummy DNA, researchers have finally generated a full genome sequence from an ...

The Synthetic Human Genome, or Syn HG, a project launched on June 26th, aims to change that. Funded partly by Wellcome, a ...

In a first, researchers have sequenced the complete genome of a man from ancient Egypt, and the results reveal that he had ...

The oldest known Egyptian DNA sample, from a man who lived between 4,500 to 4,800 years ago, offers new insights into the ...

Human DNA contains roughly 3 billion letters of genetic code. However, we understand only a fraction of what this vast ...

A team of British scientists has launched an ambitious project to build parts of human DNA from scratch. The aim is to better ...

Scientists have for the first time sequenced the most complete and oldest ancient Egyptian genome ever found—unlocking new ...

The Synthetic Human Genome Project (SynHG) will take decades to complete and cost anything from millions to hundreds of ...

想象一下，要在人类30亿个碱基对的基因组中，精确地测试成千上万个单一碱基突变的功能，这无异于大海捞针。传统的实验方法一次只能研究几个突变，效率极低，无法满足大规模筛选的需求。要破解同义突变之谜，首先需要一把能够高效、精准地在基因组上“动手术”的手术刀 ...

A team of researchers is beginning work on creating new tools that could eventually lead to the synthesis of the human genome ...

But the research topic is, for obvious reasons, controversial. Scientists have largely steered clear of trying to create full ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.
