The Nobel Prize-winning scientist who helped discover the molecular structure of DNA has become the first person to receive his own personal genome map.
The Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) has sequenced the first Chinese volunteer's genome as part of a project to create a database of Asian genomes.
In the beginning, there was creationism, which assumed we had never evolved. Then came the theory of evolution through random mutation and natural selection.
Six months ago ETC Group exposed the Venter Institute's controversial patent applications on the world's first human-made living organism built entirely from synthetic DNA (dubbed "Synthia" by ETC Group).

Nobel Laureate James Watson is now in a prime position to have his intelligence questioned. He just discovered his genetic makeup is 16% African! The very race of whom he claimed genetics point to them having less intelligence than whites. Go figure! Talk about poetic justice.
We compulsively wash our hands, spray our countertops and grimace when someone sneezes near us—in fact, we do everything we can to avoid unnecessary encounters with the germ world.
Playing God? World's first made-made life form? A scientist says he has created a new species
Ancient retroviruses are responsible for changes in the human genome
When scientists first decoded the human genome in 2000, they were quick to portray it as proof of humankind's remarkable similarity. The DNA of any two people, they emphasized, is at least 99 percent identical.
Understanding human genome function and variation will require developing genetics capacity in population-rich as well as resource-rich regions of the globe.
Your genome can soon be sequenced, and Google might want a piece of that action.
Most of the cells in your body are not your own, nor are they even human. They are bacterial.
When Craig Venter announced that he was going to unravel the human genome, it sparked one of the most bitterly contested races in the history of science. Here, in an extract from his new memoir, he describes the acrimonious sprint to the finish
Craig Venter, the controversial DNA researcher involved in the race to decipher the human genetic code, has built a synthetic chromosome out of laboratory chemicals and is poised to announce the creation of the first new artificial life form on Earth.
French and Italian researchers have decoded the genome of the pinot noir grape, a breakthrough that could one day lead to the engineering of pest-resistant strains or - more controversially - new varieties and flavours of wine.
Could people one day evolve to eat rich food while remaining perfectly slim and svelte? This may not be so wild a fantasy. It is becoming clear that the human genome does respond to changes in diet, even though it takes many generations to do so
For the first time, scientists have sequenced the genome of a single individual - a step they call a huge leap forward in the quest for personalized medicine based on each of our genetic codes.
The race to decode the human genome may not be entirely over: the loser has come up with a new approach that may let him prevail in the end.
J Craig Venter secured his place in the scientific firmament seven years ago when he nearly outran the U.S. government in the race to map the human genome.
A close-up view of the human genome has revealed its innermost workings to be far more complex than first thought.
RNA interference (also called "RNA-mediated interference", abbreviated RNAi) is a mechanism for RNA-guided regulation of gene expression in which double-stranded ribonucleic acid inhibits the expression of genes with complementary nucleotide sequences.
Scientists working to build a life form from scratch have applied to patent the broad method they plan to use to create their "synthetic organism".

It started a decade ago with Dolly the Scottish sheep, the world's first cloned mammal. Then a year later came Lucy the Canadian mouse, the first mammal with artificially implanted genes that could be inherited by her offspring.
