A large-scale genomic study of koalas across eastern Australia has found that populations that went through severe ...

Two complementary genome-wide association studies provide new insights into how host genetics influence the human gut ...

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 ...

The study of genetic variation and growth traits in tree species is crucial for understanding the mechanisms that underpin forest productivity, resilience and adaptation. Recent advances in molecular ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Cute but cantankerous, koalas are making a surprising recovery from a genetic bottleneck, with their once most threatened ...

It’s called a pangenome, and it could explain the DNA that makes each of us unique. The joke about the Human Genome Project is how many times it’s been finished, but not actually. The first time was ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...
