Sequencing diverse populations revealed over 41,000 transcripts missing in Eurocentric references, exposing ancestry bias ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

A sweeping new genetic analysis suggests that humans living in southern Africa spent roughly 100,000 years in isolation, long ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in ...

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 ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change ...
