Scientists have identified an unexpected source of genetic variation in human sperm that occurs earlier in sperm development than previously thought. Published in Nature, researchers at the Wellcome ...

Throughout history, most of the world's genomic research has relied on DNA data from people of European ancestry. A genome is the full DNA code of about 3 billion (a thousand million) bases, including ...

A new genomic study has uncovered long-lost genetic diversity in mammoth lineages spanning over a million years, providing new insights into the evolutionary history of these animals. A new genomic ...

Genetic diversity and species interactions are intertwined drivers of ecological complexity and stability. Genetic variation within populations underpins adaptive potential, allowing species to ...

The basic outline of the interactions between modern humans and Neanderthals is now well established. The two came in contact as modern humans began their major expansion out of Africa, which occurred ...

A big federal research project aimed at reducing racial disparities in genetic research has unveiled the program's first major trove of results. "This is a huge deal," says Dr. Joshua Denny, who runs ...

A notorious snake invasion that devastated Guam’s native birds may have succeeded because the reptiles carried hidden genetic advantages. Using advanced long-read DNA sequencing, researchers uncovered ...

SILVER CITY, N.M.— Thirty conservation organizations today urged wildlife agencies to take science-based actions to protect Mexican gray wolves after a new analysis showed that the endangered species’ ...
