The Finnish population is one of the most genetically studied in ... Here, we present a fine-scale genetic structure of Finland before 1950s, thus focusing on the time before large-scale migrations ...

How do genes associated with dyslexia relate to brain structure in the general population ... for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen found that genetic variants that increase the chance of dyslexia ...

The founder effect is an extreme example of "genetic drift." Genes occurring at a certain frequency in the larger population will occur at a different frequency -- more or less often -- in a ...

A group of international researchers has constructed a comprehensive Southeast Asian population genome variation dataset, ...

The researchers found that the genetic sequences were highly diverse from one population to the next. Because modern humans originated in Africa, there has been more time for changes to accumulate ...
