Genetic variation in livestock is a critical area of research that underpins modern breeding practices and agricultural productivity. Differences in DNA sequences, including single nucleotide ...

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 ...

As biodiversity declines and causes reductions in the genetic variation of animals, historic genomes offer clues for conservation. As recently as the early 1800s, thousands of Seychelles paradise ...

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

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

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...
