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, ...

Scientists at Keele University have created the first detailed map of the genetic "switches" that control reproduction in ...

When Mika Matera-Vatnick ’21 received President Martha E. Pollack’s email in March announcing the closing of campus, her first thought was, “What am I gonna do with my flies?” Matera-Vatnick, like ...

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 ...

Researchers at Keele University have produced the first comprehensive map of genetic switches controlling reproduction in Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, the primary malaria vector. The study identifies ...

Recent studies are challenging the long-dominant Mendelian view of inheritance, highlighting the need to incorporate polygenic and quantitative models into genetics research and education. Evidence ...

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 ...

The use of ‘serious’ to describe certain genetic conditions is pivotal in determining current and future applications of repro-genetic technologies. From Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), through ...
