If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a "koala paradox": endangered in the north of Australia, abundant in the south; genetically ...

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

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

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 ...

Several genetic variations were recovered in individuals during remission compared to those in active disease. Recovered features included reduction of plasma and cell cycle signatures and increase of ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine’s Dan L Duncan Comprehensive Cancer Center and Human Genome Sequencing Center investigated the extent to which forms of genetic variation called germline or ...

Recently, a unique kitten came through the doors of Marin Humane. In fact, little Luigi is 1 in 3,000. Those are the chances of a tortoiseshell feline being a male. This unusual coloring, known for ...

Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...
