Researchers must ensure that the inequality seen in most of today’s genomic studies and databases is corrected.

The biologist earned a Nobel Prize in 2002 for his work on C. elegans.

A proposal to synthesize entire genomes—the subject of a controversial, invitation-only meeting at Harvard last month—is formally presented in Science.

A closed-door gathering at Harvard last week hosted researchers talking about synthesizing entire genomes, including that of humans. 

Fifteen years after publication of the human genome’s first draft sequence, what has become of the hundreds of researchers who worked on the project?

A massive screen yields the most comprehensive map of binary human protein interactions to date.

Proteomic data suggest the human genome may encode fewer than 20,000 genes.

What researchers are learning as they sequence, map, and decode species’ genomes

From research results to electronic health records, biomedical data are becoming increasingly accessible. How can scientists best capitalize on the information deluge?
