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.

A number of studies have highlighted that ethnicity is an important factor influencing the genetic variability of some CYP450 enzymes and that human adaptation could have a role in shaping the genetic ...
