Ancient DNA Still Present In Human Genome Linked To Major Psychiatric Disorders, Says Study
The study is based on the analysis of large studies involving tens of thousands of people, both with and without mental health conditions.

Scientists Solve The Genetic Puzzle Y Chromosome
Scientists have taken an important step forward in understanding the human genome - our genetic blueprint - by fully deciphering the enigmatic Y chromosome present in males, an achievement that could help guide research on infertility in men.
-
First Complete Human Genome Sequence Published, Filling In Gaps of Previous Efforts
Researchers in 2003 unveiled what was then billed as the complete sequence of the human genome. But about 8 percent of it had not been fully deciphered, mainly because it consisted of highly repetitive chunks of DNA that were difficult to mesh with the rest.
-
Scientists Have Finally Mapped The Whole Human Genome
Scientists on Thursday published the first complete human genome, filling in gaps remaining after previous efforts while offering new promise in the search for clues regarding disease-causing mutations and genetic variation.

Scientist Who Claims He "Gene-Edited" Babies To Speak Today On Stage
Organisers of a conference that has been upended by gene-edited baby revelations are holding their breath as to what the controversial scientist at the centre of the "breakthrough" will say when he takes the stage.
-
New System Can Reconstruct Faces Using Your DNA
Scientists have reconstructed faces from people's DNA, an advance that challenges the idea that genetic databases can be anonymous.
-
Scientists Propose Project to Build Synthetic Human Genome
They acknowledged that their undertaking is controversial and said they would seek public involvement and the consideration of ethical, legal and social implications.

Scientists Propose Project To Build Synthetic Human Genome
A group of 25 scientists on Thursday proposed an ambitious project to create a synthetic human genome, or genetic blueprint, in an endeavour that is bound to raise concerns over the extent to which human life can or should be engineered.

Genes Linked To Stroke Risk Identified: Study
In what is believed to be the largest study of its kind, an international team of researchers has identified new genes that predispose people to ischemic stroke, the cause of approximately 85 per cent of all strokes.
-
First Ancient Human Genome from Africa is Sequenced
Scientists have sequenced the genome of a 4,500-year-old man in Africa for the first time, a difficult achievement since the hot climate has made DNA difficult to recover from old remains, researchers said Thursday.
-
World's Largest Catalogue of Human Genetic Diversity is Here
An international team of scientists has created the world's largest catalogue of genomic differences among humans, providing researchers with powerful clues to help them establish why some people are susceptible to various diseases.

Scientists win Nobel Prize for gene technology
Three scientists, two Americans and a Briton, won the 2007 Nobel Prize in medicine for their work on creating "knockout" mice.
