Johns Hopkins Medicine study suggests small molecule inhibitor RK-33 can block multiple variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus from replicating.

Researchers from Dresden uncover a greater neuron production in the frontal lobe during brain development in modern humans than Neandertals

Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives, descending from the same species as humans more than 6 million years ago.

An analysis of DNA from 12th-century human remains has provided new insights into Ashkenazi Jewish population history.

Genetic discovery could turn disease-carrying mosquitoes into insect Peter Pans, preventing them from ever maturing or multiplying.

Researchers find the first evidence of nonrandom mutation in human genes, challenging a core assumption at the heart of evolutionary theory

The new study could have big implications for genome research, evolutionary biology, computing, big data, physics and cosmology.

A study has made an estimation of the time when some of the genetic variants that characterise our species emerged.

Going to the beach? Planning a hike? Be prepared: Men will be much hungrier according to a survey on the eating habits of 3,000 people.

A new study has brought the first evidence of nonrandom mutation in human genes, challenging a core assumption at the heart of evolution.

The human genome is littered with “selfish genetic elements,” which do not seem to benefit their hosts, but instead seek only to propagate.

A long-term study has shown a common bone density scan can also reveal if someone is at increased risk of developing dementia.

Moving in time to musical rhythm is so automatic that people are often not conscious of the exquisite coordination that it demands.

Researchers have found that we can predict how well someone can see based on the unique structure of their primary visual cortex.

Researchers and collaborators used their single-cell sequencing tool Perturb-seq on every expressed gene in the human genome.

Height may be an unrecognized but biologically important and unchangeable risk factor for several common health conditions.

The first study to compare the accumulation of mutations across many animal species has shed new light on decades-old questions.
