Identifying the genetic changes responsible for human-specific traits remains a central challenge in evolutionary genomics. Although thousands of modern human-specific variants have been identified through comparisons with Neanderthal, Denisovan, and great ape genomes, the phenotypic consequences of most of these chang...

Epigenetic aging clocks based on DNA methylation patterns across the genome have emerged as a potential biomarker for risk of age-related diseases, like Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and environmental and social stressors. However, methylation clocks have not been comprehensively validated in genetically diverse individual...
ExCAVATE-HT (EXtracting Common Allelic VAriants for Targeted Editing in High-Throughput) a bioinformatic tool that mines population variant data to generate CRISPR libraries targeting genomic loci for allele-specific editing is introduced.
