  • completion of human genome prpject

    The National Human Genome Research Institute celebrates the completion of the human genome sequence, the 50th anniversary of the description of the DNA double helix and the publication of the vision document for the future of genomics research.

  • national genome annoucement

    The National Human Genome Research Institute announces that the first draft version of the honey bee genome sequence has been deposited into free public databases.

  • NHGRI announces

    NHGRI announces it has awards grants totaling more than $32 million to advance the development of innovative sequencing technologies intended to reduce the cost of DNA sequencing and expand the use of genomics in biomedical research and health care.

  • National Institutes of Health Chemical Genomics

    Researchers at the National Institutes of Health Chemical Genomics Center (NCGC) - an NHGRI Affiliated Center - develop a new screening approach that can profile compounds in large chemical libraries more accurately and precisely than standard methods, speeding the production of data that can be used to probe biological activities and identify leads for drug discovery.

  • 10th anniversary of The National Human Genome Research

    The National Human Genome Research Institute celebrated its 10th anniversary as an institute of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), marking a decade that saw genomics emerge as a powerful research tool and looking ahead to an era in which genomics will transform medical care.

  • announces the 1000 Genomes Project

    An international research consortium announces the 1000 Genomes Project, an ambitious effort that will involve sequencing the genomes of at least a thousand people from around the world to create the most detailed and medically useful picture to date of human genetic variation.

  • new way of detecting functional regions in the human genome

    A team that includes researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found a new way of detecting functional regions in the human genome. The novel approach involves looking at the three-dimensional shape of the genome's DNA and not just reading the sequence of the four-letter alphabet of its DNA bases.

  • the new chief of its Genome Technology Branch

    NHGRI names Lawrence C. Brody, Ph.D., as the new chief of its Genome Technology Branch, the largest of seven branches in the NHGRI Division of Intramural Research. The branch is recognized for developing innovative methods and approaches to advance our understanding about the structure and function of genomes.

  • new strategic plan for the future of human genome research

    NHGRI's new strategic plan for the future of human genome research was published in the February 10, 2011 issue of Nature magazine. The plan, called Charting a course for genomic medicine from base pairs to bedside, is intended to inspire many to contribute to advancing genomic understanding, especially as other National Institutes of Health (NIH) institutes and centers focus genomic technologies on the diseases they study.

  • announces a major reorganization

    NHGRI announces a major reorganization to accommodate broad changes in its mission at the 66th National Advisory Council for Human Genome Research (NACHGR). The reorganization includes dividing the institute's Extramural Research Program into four new divisions and promoting to division status the office overseeing policy, communications, and education, and the office overseeing administration and management.
