The researchers identified regions with Neandertal ancestry in over 300 individuals. They assessed sharing of segments, inferred gene flow, and looked at variation to identify candidates for positive ...

"In fact, assisted gene flow has been successful in boosting resilience across many animal species and may offer a critical lifeline for struggling coral populations." Coral reefs worldwide are under ...

By analyzing ancient and modern DNA, scientists are uncovering the genetic origins of the Greek people, shaped over millennia ...

Two recent studies suggest that the gene flow (as the young people call it these days) between Neanderthals and our species happened during a short period sometime between 50,000 and 43,500 years ago.

Using genomes from 2,000 living humans as well as three Neanderthals and one Denisovan, an international team mapped the gene flow between the hominin groups over the past quarter-million years. Ever ...

Killer whale populations in low latitudes have high genetic diversity despite having low population densities, as a result of genetic mixing, which plays a crucial role in their survival and ...

Corresponding author Akshay Sharma, MBBS, MSc, St. Jude Department of Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cellular Therapy talks to St. Jude patient enrolled on the reported clinical trial, Corey Luellen.

Ever since the first Neanderthal bones were discovered, people have wondered about these ancient hominins. How are they different from us? How much are they like us? Did our ancestors get along with ...
