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

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication ...

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

A new study has developed a powerful computational method that can detect how genes interact with each other to influence ...

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 ...

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

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome ...

Human gene maps contain major blind spots because they were built largely from the DNA sequences of people with European ...
