The secrets of human brain evolution are beginning to be unveiled thanks to a recent study. Researchers have explored key ...

What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

When the first human genome sequence was published in 2001, 1 I was a graduate student working as the statistics expert on a team of scientists. Hailing from academia and biotechnology, we aimed to ...

For the study, published Jan. 30 in the journal Cell, researchers focused on a class of genetic switches known as Human Accelerated Regions (HARs), which regulate when, where, and at what level genes ...
