What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted upon by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. This is a molecular machine which ...

Researchers have uncovered the origins and genetic diversity of the Fulani, one of Africa's largest pastoral populations. The study reveals a complex genetic ancestry with influences from both North ...

From understanding hereditary diseases to predicting drug responses, sequencing helps researchers uncover the subtle language ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the ...

A team led by University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health geneticists has shown, for the first time, that a gene ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.
