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 ...

By exploiting the genetic variation in cancer cells, an already approved cancer drug demonstrated enhanced effects against cancer cells in specific patient groups.

23andMe, a popular South San Francisco-based genetic testing company, is laying off 40% of its workers after struggling with ...

New data is revealing deeper insights into how early humans interbred with Denisovans in events that significantly shaped our ...

Harvard researchers pioneered a method called HACE for targeted gene mutations, advancing genetic research potential.

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 ...

Scientists believe individuals of the most recently discovered "hominin" group (the Denisovans) that interbred with modern day humans passed on some of their genes via multiple, distinct interbreeding ...
