Researchers have developed PhyloFrame, a machine-learning tool that uses artificial intelligence to account for ancestral diversity in genetic data. University of Florida researchers are addressing a ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

New research has revealed an incredible discovery: modern humans carry 20% of their genetic material from a mysterious population that split from our ancestors 1.5 million years ago. This study ...

The United States leads in genetics-related output in the Nature Index, with six institutions ranking among the world’s top 10. Leading by a clear margin is Harvard University, in Cambridge, ...

A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. An ad hoc ...

Out of these eight strains of mice, only the CAST mouse was susceptible to SARS-CoV-2, including beta, omicron and delta variants. The eight strains include A/J, B6J, CAST, 129S1, NSG, NZO, PWK, and ...

A new study has created a map of DNA modification in two regions of the brain critical to learning, memory and emotional regulation. The map offers a benchmark for ensuring stem cell-based models ...
