Researchers report that they have identified genetic variants that determine the shape of human teeth, including a gene inherited from Neanderthals. The scientists published their paper “PITX2 ...

A new study identifies 18 genome regions that influence tooth size and shape, of which 17 have not been linked to our chompers before – and shows how genetic variation affects tooth dimensions across ...

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth -- including a gene inherited from Neanderthals -- have been identified by a team of researchers. Genetic variants that determine the shape of ...

One of the remaining challenges for evolutionary developmental studies of mammals, whose evolution is best known from their teeth, is how their tooth shape is altered during development. Researchers ...
