This research highlights the association between AMY1 gene copy number and salivary enzyme activity, with implications for ...

The oldest known Egyptian DNA sample, from a man who lived between 4,500 to 4,800 years ago, offers new insights into the ...

Researchers from the Francis Crick Institute and Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) have extracted and sequenced the ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

Genome editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 have transformed biology, medicine, and agriculture, but concerns remain about ...

New research has revealed an incredible discovery: modern humans carry 20% of their genetic material from a mysterious population that split from our ancestors 1.5 million years ago. This study ...

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 ...

Twenty years ago last month, scientists sequenced the first human genome in the landmark Human Genome Project. Among the many things they discovered was that while any two humans have 99.6 percent ...

Study presents a genome-wide map, "Gnocchi," constructed from 76,156 human genomes, revealing that non-coding regions rich in regulatory elements are crucial in understanding human traits and ...

"We sought to examine how natural selection shapes patterns of human genetic variation across the whole genome, especially in the non-coding genome, which has been much less characterized than ...

The work, led by the international Human Pangenome Reference Consortium of scientists funded by the U.S. government's National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), essentially was a reboot of ...
