Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during ...

For the Human Genome Project, researchers collected blood (female) or sperm (male) samples from a large number of donors. Only a few samples were processed as DNA resources, and the source names ...

Modern humans and Neanderthals likely shared the plains and forests of Eurasia for 6,000 to 7,000 years. As bands of Homo sapiens spread across the continent, they carried Neanderthal DNA with them.

It is also frequently used for other benefits, like wildlife studies, paternity testing, body identification, and in studies pertaining to human dispersion.While most aspects of DNA are identical ...

Genome and mutations DNA replication is carefully controlled to preserve the genetic information. However, changes in the genome do sometimes occur. These changes are known as mutations.

Researchers at deCODE genetics have developed a groundbreaking DNA map, revealing the intricate process of genetic recombination during reproduction. This map highlights areas of DNA that undergo ...

If your recent ancestry lies outside of Africa, you can safely assume that you carry some Neanderthal DNA. Human origins expert Professor Chris Stringer discusses what this Neanderthal inheritance may ...
