Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species. This variation permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...

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 ...

Humans were isolated in southern Africa for about 100,000 years, which caused them to "fall outside the range of genetic variation" seen in modern-day people, a new genetic study reveals. The finding ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine, researchers explored the genetic variability among the monkeypox virus genomes of Clade IIb lineage B.1 using a phylodynamic and ...

Human evolution is like the world’s most difficult puzzle; only small pieces of evidence remain on Earth. These few remains of our predecessors are searched for by many researchers to get a clearer ...
