A human brain gene has been jumping around our DNA for 40 million years. Scientists just found it in a virus
In 2010, researchers searching through viral DNA stumbled upon something that didn’t belong there. Inside the genome of a ...

For the first time, scientists found ancient human DNA on cave walls nobody had painted
At Escoural Cave in southern Portugal, a thin mineral crust had formed over a patch of ancient pigment. Geneticists in ...
Population geneticist Sohini Ramachandran uses computational approaches and develops new techniques to explore human genetic variation and diversity.
Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...
Researchers have identified a variant in the gene TBX1 as key in the development of the unique morphology at the base of the skull. TBX1 is present at higher levels in humans than in closely related ...
Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...
Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...
