Supporting this idea are both geologic evidence of Toba’s size and atmospheric effects and indications of a human genetic bottleneck that happened around the time of the eruption. A genetic ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

All human genetic diversity can be traced to recombination and de novo mutations, DNA sequence present in the child but not in the parents. The map shows that mutations are elevated near regions ...

The recent demonstration of the considerable plasticity of the human genome might help to explain phenotypic discrepancies in the penetrance of genetic traits and/or in the severity of the ...

Comparison of that ancient DNA with modern human DNA showed that the two species had interbred and that people today still carry the genetic fingerprint of that intermixing. Since then ...
