Analysis of individual human genomes has revealed an unexpected amount of variability in human populations. Copy number variation (CNV) has recently been identified as a major cause of structural ...

The concomitant activity is to catalogue the nature and extent of human variation associated with each of these variant loci—an activity that is likely to be ongoing indefinitely. For this ...

So, serologists who work largely with blood factors will tend to see human variation as clinal and races as not a valid construct, while skeletal biologists, particularly forensic anthropologists ...

Throughout the symposium, many speakers argued that any attempt to categorize sex runs into the same issue—human variation always provides an exception to the rule. For example, an introductory ...

“Given the key role of AMY1 copy number variation in human evolution, this genetic variation presents an exciting opportunity to explore its impact on metabolic health and uncover the mechanisms ...

[24,25] Here, we hypothesized that common SGLT2 variants could also potentially contribute to variation of bodyweight and glucose homeostasis in nondiabetic subjects. Since such variants could ...

"Scientists have been pondering and researching a genetic basis for sex ratio for decades, yet no unambiguous evidence for a genetic variation that alters the human sex ratio from an approximately ...
