If you think about the coronavirus, your mind probably goes to lockdowns, hospitals, and the strange new habits we've formed this year. But for some scientists, the virus is essentially nothing more ...

For centuries, scientists have sought a biological method for tracing a person's geographic origin. Now, a group of researchers has developed such a genetic ancestry test that can pinpoint the ...
