Humans and Neanderthals cozied up from time to time when they lived in the same areas tens of thousands of years ago. A new ...

Long ago, Neanderthals and modern humans interbred. But among Neanderthals, their modern human blood came mostly from their ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Organoids are three-dimensional miniature models of organs, grown in a dish. They have become a valuable tool for studying human development, organ regeneration, function, and disease progression.

The human genome is a rich, complex record of migration, encounters, and inheritance written over thousands of millennia.

Geneticists have found an interesting pattern in how early humans and Neanderthals interbred—and it wasn't balanced.

Officially unveiled at the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) 2025 meeting held in Boston, Genomics has launched Mystra, an AI-enabled human genetics platform designed to accelerate drug target ...

Age, biological sex, and human genetic factors influence the production of antibodies during the immune response. A team of scientists from the Institut Pasteur, the CNRS and the Collège de France ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

It takes two to tango, and two to trigger Parkinson’s. New research identifies the "partners in crime" genes that work together to overwhelm the brain’s waste-management system.
