Domestic cats first joined European communities around 2,000 years ago, during the age of Roman power, not in deep prehistory ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the earliest stages of embryonic development. These mosaic mutations often go ...

Comparing the genomes of snakes with distinct coloration patterns pinpointed the genetic variants that contribute to these ...

It belongs to a highly productive female line that has driven Redhu’s Murrah improvement efforts for over 15 years.

A baby's appearance is a complex blend of inherited genes from both parents, influencing traits like eye color, hair, and ...

The scientists swabbed over 1,000 healthy donors to study the interactions between the bacterial populations present in the nasal passages.

Growing up in Swain County, Nathan Dee Greene ate a lot of apples. The family had several trees of their own, but every fall, they bought bushels from the nearby orchard on Laurel Branch, across the ...

Dorothy “Dorrie” Braver Ornstil, passed away peacefully on June 29, 2025, in her beloved Berkshires at the age of 94. She was ...

Researchers created a highly efficient gene-editing method that fixes multiple DNA mutations in a single step. The breakthrough could revolutionize genetic medicine by making treatments for complex ...

New research confirms humans first reached the Sahul super-continent by two different routes around 60,000 years ago.
