A new study reveals that a mysterious human ancestors contributed 20% of modern human genes, potentially enhancing brain ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe.

New genetic research suggests that humans first developed language around 135,000 years ago when populations began ...

Cambridge University researchers have uncovered evidence that two distinct populations of ancient hominins, separated for ...

The lab of Dan Xu, PhD, assistant professor at The Hormel Institute, has published a groundbreaking study in Cell Metabolism, a highly prestigious scientific journal. The paper, entitled "Isoform ...

"Our history is far richer and more complex than we imagined," said human evolutionary geneticist Aylwyn Scally.

PPH researchers apply cutting-edge AI and computational models to massive datasets to develop a deep understanding of the ...

In the microscopic world of bacteria, gene transfer is a powerful mechanism that can alter cellular function, drive antibiotic resistance and even shape entire ecosystems.

A novel genetic model suggests that the ancestors of modern humans came from two distinct populations that split and reconnected during our evolutionary history.

Small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) are non-coding RNA molecules whose role in gene regulation and association with certain ...
