Population genomics refers to the large-scale study of genetic variation both within and between populations of organisms, such as humans. “Population genomics, in its simplest form, requires genetic ...

Researchers had long thought that inbreeding caused a genetic meltdown in the last mammoth population, but a new ancient DNA analysis says otherwise. The last population of woolly mammoths ...

The study, published Thursday in Science, analyzed the genetic lineages of 3,154 modern humans to trace their characteristics backward in time and model the population patterns likeliest to have ...
