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 ...

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 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 ...

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, ...

New fossil and genetic evidence shows that woolly and Columbian mammoths were not just distant cousins roaming separate parts ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

What are cell and gene therapies? Cell and gene therapies are utilized to treat diseases and, in some cases, cure diseases by targeting the underlying proteins or genes. Overlaps between these ...
