The influence of an unknown population and its impact on intelligence was discovered in our DNA by researchers using a new ...

Vence Bonham, who became acting director of the National Human Genome Research Institute less than two weeks ago, is ...

At meeting on human embryo editing, CRISPR pioneer says science is a long way from knowing if germline DNA can be safely ...

Researchers developed an algorithm that maps human genetic diversity and ancestry to better understand population history.

Alan Herbert, explores the understanding of genome information storage, and the significance of repetitive sequences called ...

As warehouses go, nuclei are more like libraries than bank vaults. Too many cellular components need access to the genome to lock it down like Fort Knox. Instead, large groupings of more than 1,000 ...

Scientists discovered humans descended from two ancient populations, not one. These groups split 1.5 million years ago.

A new study suggests a far more intricate genetic tapestry is involved in the ultimate ancestry of people in Japan.

This reunion wasn't an equal mix; one group contributed about 80% of modern human DNA, and the other, only 20%. Traditionally, scientists relied on ancient bones to track human evolution.

Researchers at the Center for Embryology and Healthy Development (CRESCO) aim to find out why so many early embryos fail in ...
