More than half of midlands-based cancer patients whose genomes were successfully sequenced through the 100,000 Genomes Project, received clinical recommendations according to a new study. Almost 60% ...

Neanderthal genes make up 1-2% of the genomes of non-Africans. Scientists analyzed the lengths of regions of Neanderthal DNA in 58 ancient Eurasian genomes of early modern humans and determined that ...
