Biological evolution is recorded in the genomeThe history of life deciphered from DNAAn organism's genome contains not only the information needed to build its current body, but also the remnants of ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study published in Cell Genomics, researchers at Lund University in Sweden show ...

UC Berkeley researchers have created a new genomic language model, called GPN-Star, that excels at spotting genetic variants that impact human health. More than two decades after scientists first ...

The influence of an unknown population and its impact on intelligence was discovered in our DNA by researchers using a new method they developed. The story of human evolution just took a dramatic turn ...

A DNA language model called GPN-Star learns from millions of years of evolution to flag the genetic variants most likely to ...

Scientists have identified a 442-letter DNA sequence that may have contributed to human brain evolution. The sequence appears to influence neuron growth and the balance of different brain cell types.

A recent study published by the University of California, Berkeley has identified genetic traces of two previously unknown hominin species within the DNA of modern humans. The discovery was made ...

More than two decades after scientists first sequenced the entire human genome — all 3 billion “letters,” or base pairs, of DNA code — the meaning of much of this code remains a mystery. While an ...
