Genome sequencing has been used to determine how much genes influence human characteristics including height and weight, and ...

A new study published in the journal Cerebral Cortex provides evidence that differences in general intelligence may be partly ...

By comparing the human and Neanderthal genomes, the researchers discovered only three single-letter differences in a short ...

Using full genome sequencing data from more than 347,000 individuals, researchers quantified how much genetic differences explain human traits such as height, body mass index, fertility, and disease ...

By studying Neanderthal DNA, researchers shed light on key genetic factors that contribute to the unique structure of human faces.

For many scientists, the first glimpse of a DNA sequence—those colored peaks marking A, T, C, and G—sparked a lifelong fascination with the code that shapes us all. That same spirit of discovery ...

The first complete draft of the human genome was published back in 2003. Since then, researchers have worked both to improve the accuracy of human genetic data, and to expand its diversity, looking at ...

Officially unveiled at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2025 meeting held in Boston, Genomics has launched Mystra, an AI-enabled human genetics platform designed to accelerate drug target ...

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...
