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

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

A 30-year-long study of a small population of marine snail shows how evolution can adapt to environmental changes quite rapidly. This study revealed how a specific ecotype of the snail changed its ...

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 ...

For more than 50 years, scientists have been freezing living cells from endangered species. Here’s how the Frozen Zoo® is ...

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 ...
