Surveys of genetic variation within and among human populations can be used to address a number of basic questions in evolutionary genetics. In very few instances (in any organism) do we know the ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — A new genome-wide study uncovers evidence of the first three-way relationships between human genetic variation, variation in the fungal component of the human microbiome — known ...

A number of studies have highlighted that ethnicity is an important factor influencing the genetic variability of some CYP450 enzymes and that human adaptation could have a role in shaping the genetic ...

A new genome-wide study uncovers evidence of the first three-way relationships between human genetic variation, variation in the fungal component of the human microbiome - known as the mycobiome - and ...

A recent study published in the American Journal of Human Biology suggests that a genetic preference for immediate rewards is linked to less education and earlier parenthood. This provides evidence ...
