Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

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 ...

A new study published in Science is challenging long-held assumptions about how we measure genetic risk in endangered species ...

Once-threatened koala populations in parts of Australia are showing surprising signs of genomic recovery, according to a ...

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 ...

Koala populations with low genetic diversity are actually recovering by "reshuffling" their genes to remove harmful mutations ...

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

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

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 ...

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have made an important discovery about how genetic mutations in ...
