Scientists have identified a gene that appears to have evolved rapidly in people and contributed to the emergence of the uniquely human brain. Rather than coding for a protein, as about half of known ...

A gene newly associated with the migratory patterns of golden-winged and blue-winged warblers could lend insight into the longstanding question of how birds migrate across such long distances. A gene ...

Two separate studies - both benefiting from ancient DNA - paint detailed pictures of the founding, migration, and evolution of human populations in Iceland and the Americas, respectively. More broadly ...

The balance between stabilizing selection and migration of maladapted individuals has formerly been modeled using a variety of quantitative genetic models of increasing complexity, including models ...

An international genomics study led by scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) at the Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE) and ...

It is not that base and prime editing—groundbreaking technologies developed in the Liu lab from 2016–19—are old news. Liu did devote a few slides to summarizing the clinical progress of both platforms ...

A groundbreaking international study has revealed that early Asians undertook humanity s longest known prehistoric migration walking more than 20,000 kilometers over thousands of years from North Asia ...
