Launched in 1990, The Human Genome Project was a monumental effort to sequence and analyze the entire human genome to understand how genetics influence health. While the Human Genome Project helped ...

The human genome project was undertaken to determine the human DNA sequence and analyze variation among individuals. To make use of this information, tools were developed that could collect and ...

Comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) was developed to identify pathogenic DNA copy-number changes (e.g., duplications, deletions) on a genome-wide scale, and to map these changes to genomic ...

Nature uses a common framework when building organisms as different as yeast, worms, fruit flies, mice, and humans. This makes it possible for scientists to learn about how our own genes work by ...

Takara Bio Inc., a biotechnology company in Otsu, Japan, has developed a system which allows for mass production of a wide variety of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) fragments needed to make DNA ...

The research community's rapid acceptance of microarrays notwithstanding, technical challenges remain. Biochip developers continue to grapple with these issues while upgrading their offerings and ...
