The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia. Genomic research by members of Sarah Tishkoff's lab at the University of ...

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

NIH funding has allowed scientists to see the DNA blueprints of human life—completely. In 2022, the Telomere-to-Telomere Consortium, a group of NIH-funded scientists from research institutions around ...

Neanderthal DNA study reveals surprising partner preference - This intriguing discovery raises significant questions about the nature of these prehistoric interactions ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

By now, it’s firmly established that modern humans and their Neanderthal relatives met and mated as our ancestors expanded ...

New technological advancements have allowed us to look at the entire human genome. The genome is the complete set of genetic information encoded in the DNA. Human DNA has around three billion letters ...

Compared with human-specific transcriptional factors, human-specific lncRNAs identified upon human lncRNAs’ orthologs in mammals have greatly evolved DNA-binding sites in archaic and modern humans in ...

Fungi have quietly shaped the trajectory of human civilization, from the diets of Paleolithic foragers to the beer in modern glasses and the experimental psychiatric drugs now in clinical trials. The ...

A systematic review of 52 scientific papers submitted to a world-leading clinical genetics journal from multiple scientists ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencing (LR-WGS), an ...
