“Before the last glacial period, Neanderthals had diverse maternal lineages. As ice sheets advanced and habitable territory shrank, survivors appear to have concentrated in a climate refugium in ...

Research into human genomic diversity has a number of applications in biomedicine, evolution, and history. However, many populations have historically been underrepresented on the human genomic map.

Salmonid fishes, encompassing salmon, trout and char, exhibit remarkable genetic diversity and complex population structures shaped by their anadromous and freshwater life histories. Genetic diversity ...

How can we explain the morphological diversity of living organisms? Although genetics is the answer that typically springs to mind, it is not the only explanation. By combining observations of ...

A comprehensive multi-cancer study by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has revealed that cancer cells within tumors are genetically diverse, yet all carry the same core ...

The Fulani people are Africa’s largest pastoralist group. There are between 25 million and 40 million Fulani people across 17 African countries, from the Atlantic shores of Senegal and Mauritania to ...

Before species go extinct, their populations often shrink and become isolated. Healthy populations tend to have a large gene pool with many genetic variants circulating. But the path to extinction ...

Why diversity matters: Genetic variation exists within all racial and ethnic groups, making diverse representation in studies critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Gaps in access: Underserved ...

Research linked to Harvard University and Harvard Medical School suggests that redheaded women possess unique genetic and biological traits that may provide several health-related benefits ...
