An international team of geneticists, led by those from Trinity College Dublin, has joined forces with archaeologists from ...

To assist their offspring in this endeavour, mother Cynipoidea wasps also squirt into the flies a mix of venom, viruses and ...

and analyse the structure and function of genomes. A genetic variant specific to people of African ancestry increases the risk of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson disease (PD).

Scientists have traced the evolutionary origin of humans' outer ears to the gills of ancient fish through a series of gene-editing experiments.

They applied the method — called "time-stratified ancestry analysis" using a statistical technique called Twigstats — to over 1,500 previously published genomes. This technique allowed the ...

Researchers developed a more precise method of understanding ancestry from ancient DNA and used it to identify previously unknown waves of migration.

The largest, most ethnically diverse, study of its kind has flagged hundreds of genetic variants that play a role in ...
