Scientists employ deep learning to analyze and compare gene regulation across various cell types in human and chicken brains.

Perhaps you’d also like to believe that humans are more complex than a worm that is used precisely for its simplicity. For ...

New research suggests a genetic variant in the NOVA1 protein may have played a key role in the emergence of human speech.

The Noonan lab at Yale University is focused on understanding how HARs contribute to the evolution of uniquely human brain features.

Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts.

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

A new study shows that giving mice the human version of a gene changes their squeak, suggesting some of the genetic ...

The work by the team involved sequencing the genes of two types of early human relatives, Neanderthals and Denisovans, and comparing them with the sequences from the human ancestor, Homo sapiens.
