New research exploring the roots of modern Japanese populations has linked the genetic signature of Jomon hunter-gatherers to a higher body mass index (BMI) among individuals, underlining that ancient ...
Researchers have detected a human genetic variant that influences the sex ratio of children. Additionally, they found that many hidden genetic variants of sex ratio may exist in human populations.
yet no unambiguous evidence for a genetic variation that alters the human sex ratio from an approximately 50:50 ratio has been found," said Zhang, professor of ecology and evolutionary biology.
With unprecedented advances in our understanding of the genetic and molecular control of gene expression and development, and in our ability to apply this knowledge clinically, the program strives to ...
