The first and largest dataset of genomic structure variations specific to childhood cancers was published today by scientists from St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and the National Cancer ...

Koalas suffered a massive population decline that left them with dangerously low genetic diversity. However, new genomic research suggests their rapid rebound may be helping reverse some of that ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

Amazon mollies don't need a man, and never will. A new study finds they can purge and repair genetic mutations that would ...

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.

A large-scale genomic study of koalas across eastern Australia has found that populations that went through severe 20th-century bottlenecks are already showing signs of genetic recovery, challenging ...

If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a “koala paradox”: endangered in the north of Australia, abundant in the south; genetically ...

In Lake Malawi, hundreds of species of cichlid fish have evolved with astonishing speed, offering scientists a rare opportunity to study how biodiversity arises.

The research, published in Science, analyzing DNA from 418 koalas across the Australian states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, found that low genetic diversity does not necessarily signal ...

The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has announced that all applications related to Post Approval Changes (PAC) for recombinant DNA (r-DNA) products must now ...

Cas9, Transcription Activator-Like Effector Nucleases (TALENs), and Zinc-Finger nucleases (ZFNs) have demonstrated great utility, primarily for genetic knock-out applications, none have been adopted ...
