Precision medicine models often rely on data from Northern European populations, leading to treatment inequities. Genetic diversity is crucial for understanding disease risk and treatment efficacy, as ...

Genes make us who we are—but are they shaped by chance, natural selection, or something else?

The coalescent framework offers a retrospective approach to population genetics by tracing the ancestry of sampled gene copies back to their most recent common ancestors. Originally formalised in the ...

An ancestral human species faced a startling population bottleneck and teetered on the brink of extinction around 800,000 years ago, according to new research. Reading time 3 minutes Humankind ...

University of Oregon researchers have developed an AI tool, based on modified GPT-2 architecture, that can reconstruct genetic ancestry in minutes by reading DNA mutation patterns. Matching the ...

Researchers at the University of Oregon have developed an artificial intelligence tool that can read genetic code the way large language models like ChatGPT read text. Scanning the genome for ...

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. Using advanced analysis based ...

In a recent study published in Nature Genetics, a group of researchers advanced variant effect prediction across the human proteome by integrating deep evolutionary signals with human population ...
