The influence of an unknown population and its impact on intelligence was discovered in our DNA by researchers using a new method they developed. The story of human evolution just took a dramatic turn ...

Population geneticist Sohini Ramachandran uses computational approaches and develops new techniques to explore human genetic variation and diversity.

Researchers have unveiled Genetic Probabilistic Circuits, a deep generative model that captures long-range genetic ...

University of Michigan researchers have developed a statistical method that can be used for such wide-ranging applications as tracing your ancestry, modeling disease spread and studying how animals ...

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 ...

A leading cardiovascular geneticist known for using human genetics and large population studies will be recognized by the American Heart Association at its annual Scientific Sessions in November.

Human beings are awesome. And the closer you look at them, the more intriguing surprises you’re bound to find. What’s especially interesting are our genes and how they’re expressed. You might not even ...

Henry T. Greely, Ethical Issues in Human Population Genetics, in Human Population Genetics: Evolution and Variation, Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza and Marcus Feldman eds., London: Henry Stewart Talks, ...

Characterizing the genetic structure of large cohorts has become increasingly important as genetic studies extend to massive, increasingly diverse biobanks. Popular methods decompose individual ...

Researchers have created a way to see your family tree as a movie rather than a still portrait by tracing where your ancestors moved across the globe over time. The statistical method can also be used ...
