A large-scale genomic study of koalas across eastern Australia has found that populations that went through severe ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely ...

A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species survived an extreme, four-year drought in California, and researchers now know ...

University of Vermont Professor Melissa Pespeni led a research team that explored how tiny sea creatures evolve. Her discovery provides hope that organisms in the ocean my be more resilient to the ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Quotient's Somatic Genomics platform reveals new approaches to treat disease based on the vast genetic variation present in the body's trillions of cells Company emerges from stealth after two years ...
