News Release
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and their colleagues have identified genomic variants that cause a rare and severe inflammatory skin disorder, known as disabling pansclerotic morphea, and have found a potential treatment.
Statement
NHGRI Director, Eric Green, M.D, Ph.D., provides remarks for the May 10, 2023 media briefing about the new high-quality collection of reference human genome sequences that captures substantially more diversity from different human populations than what was previously available.
Media Advisory
Researchers from the NIH-funded Human Pangenome Reference Consortium will answer questions about a set of papers to be published in the Nature Portfolio journals and Genome Research. The papers and the briefing are under embargo until May 10, 2023, at 11 a.m. E.T.
The Genomics Landscape
In May 4, 2023 edition of The Genomics Landscape, NHGRI Director, Eric Green, M.D., Ph.D., details a report released by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine, that provided a series of recommendations for using population descriptors in future genetics and genomics studies.
Media Advisory
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) will host researchers from the Telomere-to-Telomere (T2T) consortium, who have now sequenced the remaining 8% of DNA that was unable to be sequenced by the Human Genome Project and has eluded researchers for nearly two decades.
News Release
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.
Profile
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.
The Genomics Landscape
In the February 3, 2022 edition of The Genomics Landscape, NHGRI Director, Eric Green, M.D., Ph.D., reflects on the December 2021 NHGRI symposium's success in confronting the difficult pasts of eugenics and scientific racism.
News Release
Small businesses with NHGRI grants were instrumental in contributing to the completion of the human genome sequence, redefining the future of genomics.
Media Advisory
NHGRI will host a two-day symposium addressing historical and present-day constructions of disability and ableism, with a focus on the history and lived experiences of people with disabilities in the context of genomics and genetics.
