Could humans evolve into an entirely new species? Scientists explore how Mars colonization, genetic engineering, and ...

Genetic engineering is the act of modifying the genetic makeup of an organism. Modifications can be generated by methods such as gene targeting, nuclear transplantation, transfection of synthetic ...

With the sequencing of the human genome and the genomes of other organisms, we now have a list of the parts that make up these genetic systems. Using this information, researchers are now able to ...

A new editorial in Transplant International highlights the pivotal and often overlooked contributions of European scientists ...

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. Using advanced analysis based ...

An international team led by University of Manchester scientists has created the most detailed picture yet of how genetic differences shape the way the human eye works. The breakthrough could help ...

Learn more about Human Ancestor Quickly Evolved Regions (HAQERs), genetic regulatory regions that may have shaped language skill in modern humans and Neanderthals. Language is one of the things that ...
