Parts of Our DNA May Evolve Much Faster than Previously Thought

A team of researchers has used advanced DNA sequencing to develop the most comprehensive atlas yet of genetic change through generations, laying the foundations for new insights into the roots of human disease and evolution.

In order to assess whether a genetic disease can be inherited, it is necessary to know how quickly the human genetic material mutates and how much it changes over generations. Researchers have now determined this rate of change more precisely than never before and have created the most comprehensive mutation atlas of human DNA from it so far. Thus, parts of our genome change faster than [...] The article Parts of our DNA change faster than expec…
