Researchers have found that nearly three-quarters of the population carry newly identified genetic elements called Inocles, which may influence oral health, immunity, and cancer risk. Researchers at t ...

Researchers including those at the University of Tokyo have made a surprising discovery hiding in people's mouths: Inocles, ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in ...

A new study is unraveling everything we thought we knew about human evolution. Published on March 18, 2025, in the journal Nature Genetics, “A structured coalescent model reveals deep ancestral ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Find out what are the key reasons we need to broaden the sample size of the original map of human DNA created by the Human Genome Project. Clinical drug trials have historically had a much higher rate ...

Scientists have long debated how modern humans evolved. For decades, most researchers agreed that Homo sapiens came from one ancestral group in Africa, dating back 200,000 to 300,000 years. But new ...

A global study shows human DNA adapted to local minerals like zinc, iodine, and magnesium, shaped by diet and soil.
