New research exploring the roots of modern Japanese populations has linked the genetic signature of Jomon hunter-gatherers to a higher body mass index (BMI) among individuals, underlining that ancient ...
Genes contain instructions for making proteins, and a central dogma of biology is that this information flows from DNA to RNA to proteins. But only two percent of the human genome actually encodes ...
A cutting-edge genetic test can rapidly detect and identify almost any kind of disease-causing microorganism in the human body, whether it's a virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite, researchers say.
