Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

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 ...

Researchers in Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia are launching a project to map more than 10,000 genomes from Black Canadians with Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and an aggressive form of breast ...

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 ...

The Public Welfare Medal will be presented to Collins on April 26 during the Academy’s 163rd annual meeting.

The National Academy of Sciences is presenting its 2026 Public Welfare Medal to Francis S. Collins, former director, National Institutes of Health (NIH), for his pioneering research in human genetics ...

Thousands of new genes are hidden inside the “dark matter” of our genome. Previously thought to be noise left over from evolution, a new study found that some of these tiny DNA snippets can make ...

Since the mapping of the human genome in 2003, synthetic biology has reached a new milestone. British researchers are now tackling the synthesis of human DNA (in other words, the creation of an ...

Dozens of health systems representing millions of patients across the United States are collaborating with the Truveta Genome Project, Regeneron Genetics Center and genomic sequencing company Illumina ...

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 ...
