Artificial intelligence has gotten a bad reputation lately, and often for good reason. But a team of scientists at Google’s ...
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 ...
Four Northwestern scientists published a study in December as part of the 4D Nucleome Project, which maps the genome in 3D ...
On Wednesday, Google's DeepMind AI research lab announced AlphaGenome, an AI model designed to identify disease markers in large volumes of genetic data. It's badly needed in a field that has produced ...
The National Academy of Sciences is presenting its 2026 Public Welfare Medal to Staunton native Francis S. Collins, a former director at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), for his pioneering ...
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 ...
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 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 ...
How much carbon can the ocean absorb, and what happens to it as the planet warms? Sonya Dyhrman, a microbial oceanographer and professor at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, is trying to answer these ...
Francis Collins, former director of the U.S. National Institutes of Health and the National Human Genome Project, combined secular thought and religious beliefs at a BYU forum address on Jan. 27.
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 ...
