Human Genome Project
The Human Genome Project (1990–2003) was a landmark international effort to map and sequence the entire human genome—over 3 billion DNA base pairs. By identifying all human genes and making the data publicly available, the project transformed biomedical research and laid the foundation for advances in personalized medicine, genetic testing, and disease treatment. It also established open data-sharing standards and addressed the ethical, legal, and social implications of genetic research, setting a precedent for collaboration and transparency in science. Curious how scientists decoded human DNA—and why it matters today? Explore the article.
Facing Drug-Resistant Tuberculosis, Could Viruses Be the Cure?
As traditional antibiotics lose their edge, researchers are exploring phage therapy—viruses that hunt bacteria—as a powerful new weapon against drug-resistant TB. Learn how this promising approach could revolutionize infectious disease treatment. Read the full article →
