Giraffes are a beautiful and powerful example of what adaptive evolution can achieve. However, in recent years they have attained notoriety for a completely different reason: it has been suggested ...

What are cell and gene therapies? Cell and gene therapies are used to treat, and sometimes cure, diseases by addressing the underlying genes or proteins. While there is overlap between the fields, ...

In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...

The United States Food and Drug Administration has announced its approval of the first genetic therapy treatment for sickle cell disease. The drug exagamglogene autotemcel, commercially know as ...

The researchers identified regions with Neandertal ancestry in over 300 individuals. They assessed sharing of segments, inferred gene flow, and looked at variation to identify candidates for positive ...

Pollen dispersal and gene flow in the grass meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis Huds.) were studied using two populations which were homozygous for different allozymes at the Gpi-2 locus. The populations ...

Secondary contact and hybridization between recently diverged taxa have been increasing due to anthropogenic changes to the environment. Determining whether secondary contact leads to gene flow ...

The first war in the Torah starts 34 chapters into Genesis. Dinah, the daughter of Jacob, has attracted the interest of Shechem, the son of Hamor. He fell in love with her. “His soul was drawn to ...

A study is the first to evaluate substrate recolonization by sponges in the U.S. Virgin Islands after two catastrophic storms using genetic analyses to understand how much clonality verses sexual ...
