In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Your smile is likely one of the first things a person notices about you. Now, experts have found that the shape of our teeth may have been influenced by Neanderthals.

Humans inherited genetic material from Neanderthals that affects the shape of our noses, finds a new study.

Researchers identified rare variants of a gene involved in controlling the shape of cells and found them to be 2.7 times more common in left-handed people.

Researchers from Princeton University and Uppsala University in Sweden have identified a gene in the Galápagos finches studied by English naturalist Charles Darwin that influences beak shape and that ...

A woman with a rare genetic disorder called Apert syndrome turned an ordinary treadmill run into an extraordinary 26.2-mile feat. She documented it on TikTok and it went viral.

The genetic architecture of common diseases is central to the scientific and clinical goals of human genetics because it directly impacts biology, disease screening, diagnosis, prognosis and ...

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth—including a gene inherited from Neanderthals—have been identified by a team co-led by UCL researchers.

These findings help explain the diversity of human head shapes and may also offer important clues about the genetic basis of conditions that affect the skull, such as craniosynostosis.

A research team has identified genetic factors that influence the shape of subcortical brain regions—far beyond volume measurements. The results could open up new approaches for the early ...
