Understanding genetics can help explain differences in disease susceptibility across populations, informing medical research ...
Bronze Age natural selection accelerated human evolution, challenging long-held beliefs about genetic adaptation.
An international team has compiled the largest genomic database of Indigenous Americans, uncovering a previously unknown third migration wave into South America about 1,300 years ago. The findings, ...
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 ...
The human genome is cluttered with the remnants of ancient viruses. One of those viruses is the human betaherpesvirus 6A and ...
Research into human genomic diversity has a number of applications in biomedicine, evolution, and history. However, many populations have historically been underrepresented on the human genomic map.
