Analysis of sequence variation provides clues about what makes us different from each other and why we respond differently to disease. In an Advanced Online Publication in Nature Genetics, David Reich ...

The great majority of how we understand human disease, and attempt to cure it, derives from mice genetically fashioned to be prolific breeders, docile and easy to handle—all qualities that have made ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

Researchers have mapped variation in human stem cells that explains how cells of an individual may shape a unique 'developmental dance' at the molecular level, thereby controlling how the brain and ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

The human body is an exquisite formation that structures our movements, abilities, and identities. Careful observation, description and analysis of human anatomy can inform an understanding of the ...
