Deep within our cells, an ancient gene from Denisovans whispers the untold story of our evolution
The patients in the trial suffered from a genetic condition called autosomal recessive deafness 9 (DFNB9), which is caused by a mutation in a gene called OTOF
Introgressions & genetic profiles
Transposable elements (TEs), also known as transposons or ‘jumping genes’, are sequences of DNA that move, or jump, from one location in the genome to another
The findings provided insight into migration patterns and gene flow during the Viking age
