February 21, 2023 — NIH researchers have identified a gene that makes yeast resistant to a lethal toxin.

December 14, 2022 — NHGRI researchers are increasingly using artificial intelligence tools to answer compelling questions in genomics, such as predicting rare genetic disorders and their severity, and to understand how genomic information influences decision-making.

April 07, 2022 — An interview with Meru Sadhu, an Earl Stadtman Investigator and head of the systems biology and genome engineering section within the NHGRI Intramural Research Program, where he talks about his research and why yeast have a special place in his heart.

March 31, 2022 — Scientists have published the first complete, gapless sequence of a human genome, two decades after the Human Genome Project produced the first draft human genome sequence.

March 17, 2022 — After a lifelong obsession with completing things, Adam Phillippy has helped in the final completion of the human genome sequence. The researcher talks about his life path to genomics, his relationship with perfection and his next big thing.

February 03, 2022 — Small businesses with NHGRI grants were instrumental in contributing to the completion of the human genome sequence, redefining the future of genomics.

January 27, 2022 — NHGRI science writer Prabarna Ganguly spoke with Segre about her research career, what makes microbes so complex and her roles in science policy and anti-harassment campaigns.

December 27, 2021 — Researchers have now identified and catalogued more species - nearly 200 new bacteria and thousands of viruses - that reside on the human skin than has ever been possible, largely due to advances in bioinformatics and laboratory techniques.

December 08, 2021 — In a large-scale study of people from diverse ancestries, researchers narrowed down the number of genomic variants that are strongly associated with blood lipid levels and generated a polygenic risk score to predict elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, a major risk factor for heart disease.

December 02, 2021 — In an article published in the American Journal of Human Genetics, researchers have found that words scientists use to describe populations have changed from 1949 to 2018.
