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 ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Some Samoyeds adjust the pitch of their howls depending on the music being played, showing a form of vocal ability they might ...

Researchers reviewed how somatic mutations accumulate in normal and diseased tissues, showing that natural selection can expand clones that influence disease risk, tissue adaptation, or cellular ...

A Harvard physicist who once accepted evolution without question says a surprising encounter with faith forced him to rethink ...

New research shows oceans warming to depths of 2,000 metres, human-driven land subsidence intensifying sea level risks in ...

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

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

It was a similar story with plant life: crops selected for greater production (wheat and barley were two of the first) were often in proximity to their wild relatives and exchanged genes. This entry ...

Amatera’s approach is “2x faster and 10x more cost-effective” than industry standards for developing new varieties of perennials, it claims.
