After decades of progress, what's next?

Multi-institutional team reports a method—called 3D genome assembly—that can create a human reference genome, entirely from scratch, for less than $10,000

Once completed, yeast cells carrying a fully artificial genome—termed Saccharomyces cerevisiae 2.0, or Sc2.0—"will prove invaluable for both academic and industrial applications," says lead study author 

Two new studies provide an unprecedented look into the genome, transcriptome, and proteome of the river blindness parasite and its bacterial endosymbiont, Wolbachia

Researchers at the University of Oxford have demonstrated that the diets of organisms can affect the DNA sequences of their genes

Findings may influence vaccine and therapy development

Researchers delve into the "black box" of DNA research

One whole endogenous retrovirus genome–and bits of 17 others–were spotted in a study of 2,500 human genomes

The haploid stem cells may yield new genetic screening tools and therapies

Researchers around world unite to conduct largest study of its kind
