The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

Ancient viruses are embedded everywhere in the human genome. Estimates range, but it's thought that about eight percent of the human genome could be made up of these ancient retroviruses, which are ...

It continues 25 years of research at deCODE genetics into how new diversity is generated in the human genome, and its relationship to health and disease. The new map, appearing today in the online ...

The origins of human language remain mysterious. Are we the only animals truly capable of complex speech? Are Homo sapiens the only hominids who could give detailed directions to a far-off freshwater ...

These samples add to the small collection of modern human genomes from six sites that date to or before the disappearance of Neanderthals from the fossil record around 40,000 years ago.

A research team, including Professor Naoto Tomioka of Okayama University of Science, has uncovered new genetic evidence challenging the long-standing "dual-structure model" of Japanese ancestry. By ...

The Noonan lab at Yale University is focused on understanding how HARs contribute to the evolution of uniquely human brain features.
