Most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries—a long-standing bias that may limit the accuracy of scientific predictions for people from other populations.
Investigating context-specific genetic associations can lead to deeper understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying human traits. With this cross-journal Collection, the editors at Nature ...

20% of Modern Human Genetic Heritage Is Thought to Have Been Inherited From a Mysterious Ancestral Population
New research has revealed an incredible discovery: modern humans carry 20% of their genetic material from a mysterious population that split from our ancestors 1.5 million years ago. This study ...
Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Modern humans descended from ...
Scientists have generated a new catalog of human gene expression data from around the world to address how most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries -- ...
