Scientists have analyzed the genomes of ancient Minoans and Mycenaeans, revealing shared ancestry linked to Neolithic farmers from Anatolia, with additional genetic input from the Caucasus/Iran and, for Mycenaeans, from northern grasslands. The study also confirms a genetic link between Mycenaeans and modern Greeks.
Scientists have discovered a single-celled organism with a fantastically small genome, lacking genes for core metabolic functions, challenging our understanding of what constitutes life.
New study identifies three rare gene variants in *MAP1A*, *ANO8*, and *ANK2* that can increase the risk of ADHD by up to 15 times, offering significant insights into the genetic basis of the condition.
