Using genomes from 2,000 living humans as well as three Neanderthals and one Denisovan, an international team led by Princeton geneticist Joshua Akey mapped the gene flow between the hominin ...

Employing genomes from 2,000 contemporary humans, three Neanderthals, and a single Denisovan, Akey’s team sought to chart the genetic transactions that formed our species in the last 250,000 years.

Now, groundbreaking research led by Joshua Akey, a professor at Princeton’s Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics, has shed new light on our shared history with these fascinating hominins.

Joshua Akey, a geneticist at the University of Washington in Seattle, led a consortium of scientists who examined the DNA of 4,298 European Americans and 2,217 African Americans.

Humans have been collecting tons of negative mutations in the past few thousand years, a new study suggests. "Recent human history has profoundly shaped patterns of genetic variation present in ...

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON—USA Today reports that Joshua Akey of the University of Washington and colleagues examined the DNA of 1,500 Europeans, East Asians, South Asians, and Melanesians to look for ...

Joshua Akey admits he didn't care much for dogs in his youth. "My wife, who grew up with dogs, convinced me that we should get a dog our first year in graduate school. I very begrudgingly agreed ...

David Reich and Sriram Sankararaman of Harvard Medical School, and Joshua Akey and Benjamin Vernot of the University of Washington in Seattle, found segments of the modern human genome, ...

A study by University of Washington researcher Joshua Akey dating the age of more than 1 million single-letter variations in the human DNA code reveals most of these mutations are of recent origin ...
