What makes every person unique? Part of the answer is in our genes. A gene is a basic unit of heredity, the means by which traits get passed from one generation to the next, and genetics is the study ...

A new computational method developed by scientists from the University of Chicago improves the detection of genes that are likely to be causal for complex diseases and biological traits. The method, ...

Demographic history reconstruction suggested that additional gene flow from Altaic people influenced the northernmost Han Chinese population. Complex biological adaptation signatures associated with ...

Threat versus Safety Theory postulates that our only biological purpose is to protect, promote, and propagate our genetic code. Everything beyond that is imagination, construct, narrative, and belief.
