December 09, 2024 — NHGRI researchers found that a protein in the immune system is particularly adaptable to mutations.

September 23, 2024 — NIH is awarding $5.4 million in first-year funding to establish a new program that supports the integration of genomics into learning health systems. As genomic testing becomes increasingly common, more and more genomic data are available in clinical settings, and learning health systems present an opportunity to translate this evidence quickly and directly into improvements in medical care.

August 14, 2024 — NIH researchers discover that while artificial intelligence (AI) tools can make accurate diagnoses from textbook-like descriptions of genetic diseases, the tools are significantly less accurate when analyzing summaries written by patients about their own health.

May 29, 2024 — A team of NIH-funded researchers have generated the first complete chromosome sequences from non-human primates.

March 20, 2024 — Research points to the effects of nutrients in how DNA mutates in the mitochondria.

February 19, 2024 — To prevent an emerging genomic technology from contributing to health disparities, a scientific team funded by the National Institutes of Health has devised new ways to improve a genetic testing method called a polygenic risk score.

January 11, 2024 — After 50 years of federal service, Dr. Graham reflects on her contributions to the scientific community and the future of the genomics workforce.

December 07, 2023 — NHGRI has awarded $6.4 million in first-year funding to establish Diversity Centers for Genome Research at three institutions: University of Texas Rio Grande Valley; Meharry Medical College; and the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa.

October 17, 2023 — In an interview, Boyer reflects on her NHGRI career, the history of the NHGRI ELSI Research Program and the exciting future of research at the interface of ethics and genomics.

October 09, 2023 — After several decades as a major genomics leader, Eric Green is elected to the National Academy of Medicine, one of the highest honors in medical science.
