human genome

In a recent study, US scientists identified the FOXP2 gene mutation as a cause for human speech.

When the cell matures, many of its genes will become permanently inactive. Errors in the process of 1 gene can cause disease.

According to a recent study by the University of Helsinki (Finland), the difference between the height of men and women has a close relationship with the X chromosome in the human

Conduct genetic analysis of mummies on the 5,300-year-old Otzi tape shows that this is the oldest case of Lyme disease known in human history.

When the entire human genome was sequenced for the first time 13 years ago, scientists were stunned to discover that our DNA was so different from its relatives - monkeys. great.

Scientists have developed a new statistical method based on the sequence of complete human genomes today to elucidate the events that took place at the dawn of human history.

The DNA of a caveman virus that lived 1.5 million years ago could block the X chromosome, increasing the male sex ratio in the fetus.

According to Nucleic Acids Research magazine, in the human genome, the amount of encrypted information may be less than 20% of the previous rating.

15 years of research and more than $ 2.7 billion are impressive numbers so that scientists can build the entire human genetic map.

About half a century ago, scientists estimated the number of human genes up to millions. But modern research has reduced this number to about 20,000.
