CARTA: Cellular and Molecular Explorations of Anthropogeny
With the complete genomes of our closest existing and extinct relatives readily available, we're closer to understanding the molecular and cellular characteristics that have not only made us distinctly human, but have imbued us with uniquely human traits, conditions and diseases. Explore how studies, including those using stem cells and gene editing tools, are revealing important genetic differences and how they emerged in the human lineage – information that will one day be relevant to improving the human condition.
