This major milestone comes four decades after initial efforts by Nobel laureate Svante Pääbo to recover ancient Egyptian DNA ...

Researchers of the HSE International Laboratory of Statistical and Computational Genomics together with their international colleagues have proposed a new statistical method for analysing ...

Admixture results in a blending of genetic lineages, leading to increased genetic diversity within populations. In addition to admixture among modern human populations, ...

Recent genetic admixture marked the DNA of the Brazilian population The team identified potentially pathogenic genetic variants in 450 genes linked to heart diseases and obesity in the Brazilian ...

In a nutshell All modern humans share DNA from two ancient populations that split 1.5 million years ago and reunited through interbreeding about 300,000 years ago. The genetic mixture is ...

Remnants of Neanderthal DNA in modern genomes have long prompted questions about interspecies mating. Two studies shed light on when that occurred — and when ancient humans left Africa.

Two pulses of genetic admixture indicate more than one migration event of modern humans out of Africa, and lower Neanderthal population sizes could indicate that their decreasing population was ...

The Neanderthal DNA that many people carry today, the researchers argue, is a legacy from just 100 or 200 Neanderthals. “The effective population size of modern humans outside Africa was about ...
