Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

It would take a person typing 60 words per minute, eight hours a day, around 50 years to type the human genome. If all three billion letters in the human genome were stacked one millimeter apart ...

All human genetic diversity can be traced to recombination and de novo mutations, DNA sequences present in the child but not in the parents. The map shows that mutations are elevated near regions ...

Roughly 300,000 years ago, our species first appeared on the African landscape before spreading globally and coming to ...

In a study published in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology, scientists from the Department of Medical Biochemistry and ...

The Human Genome Project has been finished—why is it important to look at the genomes of other species? Species inventory projects can reveal insights into biodiversity and utility for humans.

Thanks to the Human Genome Project, researchers have sequenced all 3.2 billion base pairs in the human genome. How did researchers complete this chromosome map years ahead of schedule? Initial ...

All the DNA in a human body would extend to Pluto ... the four base strands in DNA are responsible for the whole variety of life on Earth. Humans, bacteria and mammoths have the same DNA system.
