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 ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

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 PNAS, researchers examined the relationship between cell size and count across the human body, establishing a quantitative framework and uncovering ...
