The first complete draft of the human genome was published back in 2003. Since then, researchers have worked both to improve the accuracy of human genetic data, and to expand its diversity, looking at ...

Bronze Age natural selection accelerated human evolution, challenging long-held beliefs about genetic adaptation.

How do our genes determine our appearance and our susceptibility to disease? This question is central to biomedical research, ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Languages and human DNA both capture aspects of human diversity. But how are they related? A new international study led by ...

Veronica Paulus is a former STAT intern supported by the Harvard University Institute of Politics. Complex regions of the human genome remained uncharted, even after researchers sequenced the genome ...

The Molecular and Human Genetics Seminar Series invites notable scientists from across the United States and around the world to present their cutting-edge research. Seminars are scheduled almost ...

Involving a collaboration with 118 investigators contributing from 89 institutions, scientists from Queen Mary University of ...

Anil Oza is a general assignment reporter at STAT focused on the NIH and health equity. You can reach him on Signal at aniloza.16. A large government study published Thursday shows more definitively ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...
