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 ...

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.

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 ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, PhD, and Jill Moore, PhD'18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the known number of potential ...

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 -- ...
