The Human Genome Project was completed a little over twenty years ago. Now, scientists involved in the 4D Nucleome Project ...

The research represents a major step forward in revealing how the three dimensional form of DNA shapes the way human biology functions. In a major step toward understanding how the physical form of ...

It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Scientists map the true nature of the genome with its loops and folds in four dimensions across time and space.

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

After 10 years, members of the 4D Nucleome consortium have successfully completed the first phase of a project that aims to map the 3D organization of the human genome and how it changes over time, ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

These genomes are the oldest yet found of modern humans in Europe, though they were not the first hominids to walk these lands—a 1.4-million-year-old fossil ancestor discovered in Spain in March 2025 ...

Here are 10 major findings about human ancestors and our close ancient relatives that scientists announced in 2025. A handful ...
