A University of Michigan-led study based on a review of genetic and health information from more than 276,000 people finds strong support for a decades-old evolutionary theory that sought to explain ...

Genetic diversity is essential to the survival of a species. It's easy enough to maintain if a species reproduces sexually; an egg and a sperm combine genetic material from two creatures into one, ...

A new exhibition at Germany's Centre for Art and Media in Karlsruhe (ZKM) features a genetically faithful reproduction of the ear Vincent van Gogh reportedly cut off in 1888 during a psychotic episode ...

Genetic diversity underpins the capacity of plant populations to adapt to changing environments, buffer against stochastic events and maintain ecosystem functions. In many taxa, including terrestrial ...

Genetic analysis shows Baltic Atlantic herring evolved four key reproductive adaptations to thrive in low-salinity waters, ...

Researchers have identified a genetic sequence that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is found in all plant species, it is expected to contribute to future crossbreeding initiatives ...

When roundworms stop reproducing, they can still move and function normally but lose their ability to detect certain food odors that once led them to their meals. Researchers at Nagoya University have ...
