Our records of the human genome may still be missing tens of thousands of 'dark' genes. These hard-to-detect sequences of genetic material can code for tiny proteins, some involved in disease ...

Neanderthals, the closest cousins of modern humans, lived in parts of Europe and Asia until their extinction some 30,000 years ago. Genetic studies are revealing ever more about the links between ...

Learn more about what how humans ended up having Neanderthal DNA in their genome and what it means if you have it.

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the ...

With a new study in the journal Cell, researchers at Stanford University and Stockholm University have contributed to ...

Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...

Scientists have recently been learning more about the importance of small bits of circular genetic material known as ...

About 30 children aged 3 to 12 years old and their parents are participating in a new program that uses DNA testing to identify genetic gifts and predict the future. When Director Zhao Mingyou first ...
