Koalas suffered a massive population decline that left them with dangerously low genetic diversity. However, new genomic research suggests their rapid rebound may be helping reverse some of that ...

Amazon mollies don't need a man, and never will. A new study finds they can purge and repair genetic mutations that would ...

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

Once-threatened koala populations in parts of Australia are showing surprising signs of genomic recovery, according to a ...

The Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO) has announced that all applications related to Post Approval Changes (PAC) for recombinant DNA (r-DNA) products must now ...

When DNA breaks, cells must repair it accurately to prevent harmful mutations. Researchers have discovered that during a key repair process called homologous recombination, the cell uses loops in its ...

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 ...

In Lake Malawi, hundreds of species of cichlid fish have evolved with astonishing speed, offering scientists a rare opportunity to study how biodiversity arises.

The research, published in Science, analyzing DNA from 418 koalas across the Australian states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, found that low genetic diversity does not necessarily signal ...

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have made an important discovery about how genetic mutations in ...
