A new study has revealed compelling evidence that brain criticality—a dynamic balance between neural excitation and inhibition—has a strong genetic foundation and is associated with cognitive ...

Their new model significantly improved quantitative trait locus (QTL) discovery, offering refined insights into the genetic architecture of important yield and structural traits in bananas.

Human behavior is a tapestry woven from culture, environment, and biology. Among the most intriguing aspects of this tapestry is risk-taking—those bold, sometimes reckless decisions that can ...

These Korean women divers have evolved traits to survive in frigid water From high-altitude climbers to divers who can fish without scuba gear, scientists are finding new ways that human bodies ...

How fast does the human genome change? Scientists have attempted to answer this question by studying mutation rates over several generations, and they found that some parts of the human genome tend to ...

The method Bradburd's team developed can be applied to systems other than human genetics. Researchers can use this method to look at the genetic distribution of the organisms they study.

In addition to their analysis of human evolutionary history, they applied the cobraa model to genetic data from bats, dolphins, chimpanzees, and gorillas, finding evidence of ancestral population ...
