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

A landmark finding that suggests koala genetic diversity not the only deciding factor in successful regrowth of populations.

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

Tree genome evolution is a fascinating area in the study of biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Trees, with their distinctive life history traits, such as ...

A genomic study of human and selected nonhuman primate centromeres has revealed their unimaginable diversity and speed of evolutionary change. Although centromeres are vital to proper cell replication ...

Surprising animal behaviors, from birds to amphibians, are revealing deep biological processes. Scientists are uncovering how viruses manipulate cells, how the immune system balances defense, and how ...

Humans are still evolving, and Tatum Simonson, PhD, founder and co-director of the Center for Physiological Genomics of Low Oxygen at University of California School of Medicine, plans to use ...

Fish caught in the same trawl and sold under the same name may in fact have significant genetic differences. Beneath the surface of the Skagerrak lies a biological diversity that is rarely seen in ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...
