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 ...

Habitat fragmentation can decrease biodiversity by up to 75% within an ecosystem. As species are forced to live in a fraction ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Around a decade ago, koalas nearly vanished from southeastern Australia due to the fur trade. In the 1920s, as few as 500 individuals remained in the state of Victoria. Conservationists kicked off a ...
