Human Population Nearly Went Extinct 900,000 Years Ago, Genetic Study Suggests
Using genomic data from present-day humans and a new analytical approach, investigators found a population bottleneck that resulted in fewer than 1,300 breeding individuals.
Chinese Multiomics Study Elucidates Aging Process in Women
With data on more than 100 healthy women in China, researchers put together a set of aging clocks highlighting biological processes and potential biomarkers linked to aging.
Consortium Produces Pangenome Reference Spanning Dozens of Chinese Populations
Researchers put together a pangenome reference with high-quality, haplotype-phased genome assemblies for individuals from minority and majority populations in China.
The Chinese firm has developed a genome engineering tool to precisely insert large DNA fragments into plant genomes in order to develop desirable traits in crops.
Mitochondrial Genome Analysis Points to Early Asian Migrations to the Americas, Japan
Researchers retraced two historical migration events from northern China by focusing on a mitochondrial genome lineage called D4h and the sub-lineages that arose from it.
