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 ...

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

"Our work demonstrates the power of using human genetic variation as 'nature's mutagenesis experiment' to probe fundamental biological mechanisms," says Principal Investigator, Dr. Mikhail Spivakov.

Every human being is a vast mosaic of cells that are mostly identical, but different here or there, from one cell or group of cells to the next. Cellular genomes might differ by a single genetic ...
