An analysis of ancient DNA and modern disease risk suggests some immune genes may reduce allergy risk rather than increase it ...

A massive study of ancient DNA from nearly 16,000 people across more than 10,000 years in West Eurasia reveals that natural selection has shaped modern human genomes far more than previously thought.

A Harvard-led study of nearly 16,000 ancient genomes from West Eurasia shows that natural selection has been far more common in the past 10,000 years than once believed. Hundreds of genetic variants ...

Scientists analyze 22,000 genomes documenting hundreds of genetic changes due to natural selection over the past 10,000 years ...
