Fixed human pangenome sequences reveal origins of common human traits

2026-05-05

Abstract excerpt

Humans possess human-specific traits 1,2 such as spoken language and lineage-specific traits such as ape-specific taillessness 3,4 . Previous efforts to identify the DNA sequences responsible for such human traits were limited by necessary accommodations for poor genome assembly quality and lack of population genomic sampling 5–16 . Here, we implement new algorithms that combine the near-complete human referenc...
