Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

The course of human history has been marked by complex patterns of migration, isolation, and admixture, the latter a term that refers to gene flow between individuals from different populations.

Humans were isolated in southern Africa for about 100,000 years, which caused them to "fall outside the range of genetic variation" seen in modern-day people, a new genetic study reveals. The finding ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a potent tool in identifying genetic mutations. By leveraging AI capabilities, scientists can rapidly and accurately analyze vast amounts of data. This ...

In genetics, scientists must analyze the genomes of millions, if not billions, of people, each carrying millions of variants. It’s an unfathomable amount of data. Which leads us to another central ...
