Scientists at deCODE genetics in Iceland, a subsidiary of Amgen, today publish the first genetic map of the human genome developed using whole-genome sequence data. The map provides the most detailed ...

J. Craig Venter, a scientist who played a critical role in the sequencing of the human genome, has died at the age of 79, according to his namesake research institute. Venter's company, Celera ...

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have been using artificial intelligence in combination with fMRI scans to translate brain activity into continuous text. The results were published ...

It took more than 20 years, but scientists have finally decoded the entire human genome. A new study published in Science reveals what the 8% of the human genome that was missing looks like.

Researchers from Vanderbilt University Medical Center have begun recruiting volunteers to participate in a clinical trial that will decode the immune system through the immunome – the genetic backbone ...

Even for high-tech California, the man strolling around UCLA was a curious sight. His motion capture suit, sensor-embedded gloves, and virtual reality eyewear were already enough to turn heads. But ...

Most humans can speak by the time they’re 2 years old, and most of us probably take this ability for granted. It’s how we interact with friends, strangers, and enemies alike. For people who have ...

Researchers have reconstructed the oldest human genomes ever found in South Africa from two people who lived around 10,000 years ago, allowing a better understanding of how the region was populated, ...
