Aug. 6, 2024 A new study reports the discovery of extremely rare early human fossils from the Indonesian island of Flores, including an astonishingly small adult limb bone. Dated to about 700,000 years old, the ...
Oct. 18, 2023 About 40,000 years ago, Neanderthals, who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years in the western part of the Eurasian continent, gave way to Homo sapiens, who had arrived from Africa. This ...
Aug. 23, 2023 Highly challenging to sequence and long overlooked, the human Y chromosome's contributions to health and disease remain largely unknown. A new paper that presents, for the first time, the ...
June 21, 2023 As men age, some of their cells lose the very thing that makes them biological males -- the Y chromosome -- and this loss hampers the body's ability to fight cancer, according to new research. ...
Apr. 17, 2024 Researchers have identified a variant in the gene TBX1 as key in the development of the unique morphology at the base of the skull. TBX1 is present at higher levels in humans than in closely related ...
Aug. 23, 2023 What was once the final frontier of the human genome -- the Y chromosome -- has just been mapped out in its entirety. Scientists used advanced sequencing technologies to read out the full DNA ...
Feb. 1, 2024 Research throws light on the mystery of why women are much more prone to autoimmune disorders: A molecule made by one X chromosome in every female cell can generate antibodies to a woman's own ...
May 17, 2023 In testing the genetic material of current populations in Africa and comparing against existing fossil evidence of early Homo sapiens populations there, researchers have uncovered a new model of ...
Dec. 13, 2023 Researchers have come one step closer to unlocking the potential of synthetic DNA, which could help scientists develop never-before-seen proteins in the ...
Apr. 1, 2024 Researchers have discovered a gene on the Y chromosome that contributes to the greater incidence of heart failure in men, opening the door to new ...
