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

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 ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

A new study published in Science is challenging long-held assumptions about how we measure genetic risk in endangered species. Researchers analyzed whole genomes from hundreds of koalas, finding that ...

A study expands the list of known genes with circadian variation and provides the first comprehensive list of genes with seasonal variation in each tissue. Tissues in the thoracic cavity, such as the ...

In a recent article published in JAMA Network Open, researchers investigated the role of genetics in the phenotypic association between screen time and psychiatric problems using a large ...

A multi-university research team co-led by University of Virginia engineering professor Gustavo K. Rohde has developed a system that can spot genetic markers of autism in brain images with 89 to 95% ...

Even though farmers have been dealing with rice stink bugs as pests since the 1880s, entomologists are still getting to know ...
