Protein–protein interaction (PPI) networks accurately map environmental perturbations to their molecular consequences in cells, yet the effects of natural genetic variation on PPIs remain poorly ...

Population genetics applies mathematical and statistical approaches to gene‐frequency changes over time and space, uniting genetics, evolutionary biology and anthropology to illuminate human origins, ...

Research led by Texas Children's Duncan Neurological Research Institute (Duncan NRI) and Baylor College of Medicine identified a rare genetic change that appears to cause a newly recognized ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new picture of human origins that challenges the long-held idea of a single ancestral population in Africa. By analyzing genetic data from diverse modern African ...

Previous research hinted at ghost ancestry in our DNA, but the new work helps pinpoint the timeline of when the ancient relatives' genetic material entered our genomes. Meaghan Marohn The evolutionary ...

This project has been funded with federal funds under Contract No. HHSN263201800029I (75N98021F00009) between the National Academy of Sciences and the Department of Health and Human Services, National ...

Ancient encounters between humans and the mysterious Denisovans are still shaping people today. By analyzing genomes from populations across the Pacific, researchers uncovered evidence that the ...

A team of researchers has conducted the largest and most comprehensive genome-wide association study (GWAS) to date of schizophrenia in individuals of African ancestry. The work was led by scientists ...

Languages and human DNA both capture aspects of human diversity. But how are they related? A new international study led by the University of Zurich finds a clear but counterintuitive pattern: regions ...

Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide ...

An analysis of twin cohort data suggests that human life span is far more heritable than previously believed. The findings of the analysis show that once deaths from external factors, such as ...

Among friends and family of those who die by suicide, a common refrain is: I didn’t know. While some people who die by suicide have prior attempts, about half of people who die by suicide have no ...
