Researchers shed new light on role of DNA in human development
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Sinai Health researchers discovered that DNA elements known as transposons, which may roam around the genome, influence a vital shift in early human development, rather than our own genes.

Study finds how humans continue to evolve with new genes
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Even though we diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors about 7 million years ago, we are still evolving today. The human lineage has 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA. Some of these novel "microgenes" are thought to be linked to diseases that are un
