Insertion-deletion markers (InDels) have rapidly emerged as a robust alternative to conventional short tandem repeats in both forensic science and population genetics. Owing to their biallelic nature, ...

Researchers at Academia Sinica have developed the first population-specific polygenic risk score (PRS) models for people of ...

Because of natural selection, different alleles are more likely to confer a survival advantage in different environments. Cycles of infectious disease prevalence and virulence often reflect natural ...

A novel genetic model suggests that the ancestors of modern humans came from two distinct populations that split and reconnected during our evolutionary history.
