New Study Reveals How Much Neanderthal DNA Still Exists In Modern Humans
Recent scientific findings have revealed that Neanderthal genes compose 1 to 4 per cent of the genome of modern-day humans whose ancestors moved out of Africa.
-
Scientists Have Finally Mapped The Whole Human Genome
Scientists on Thursday published the first complete human genome, filling in gaps remaining after previous efforts while offering new promise in the search for clues regarding disease-causing mutations and genetic variation.

Smoking Impacts DNA Even 30 Years After Quitting
The results were published in the journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics.

Ancient Fossils Provide Earliest Genetic Evidence Of Neanderthals
Nearly 400,000-year-old fossils from Spain have provided clinching earliest genetic evidence of the Neanderthals, suggesting that they may have acquired different genomes later perhaps as the result of gene flow from Africa.

Genes Linked To Stroke Risk Identified: Study
In what is believed to be the largest study of its kind, an international team of researchers has identified new genes that predispose people to ischemic stroke, the cause of approximately 85 per cent of all strokes.

World's Largest Catalogue of Human Genetic Diversity is Here
An international team of scientists has created the world's largest catalogue of genomic differences among humans, providing researchers with powerful clues to help them establish why some people are susceptible to various diseases.

UK Researchers Seek Permission to Use Human Embryo Genome Editing
Genome editing techniques on human embryos are still seen as "forbidden fruit" in many countries.

Aparna Sen: Women's Chastity Still Questioned in Age of DNA Tests
"Women are seen as child bearers. Now there are DNA tests, human genome is known, there are microchips but why are we still in that same position," Ms Sen stated
