Historic population bottlenecks left cheetahs genetically similar, increasing disease risk and threatening long-term survival ...

Humans were isolated in southern Africa for about 100,000 years, which caused them to "fall outside the range of genetic variation" seen in modern-day people, a new genetic study reveals. The finding ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...

Study shows Philippine Eagles in Mindanao have low genetic diversity, but PEF’s captive breeding stock in Davao retains key ...

What's the most genetically diverse species? A butterfly that comes in 20 colors? A bacterium that divides every 20 minutes, accumulating genetic mutations along the way? The current record holder, it ...

In a recent scientific study, Philippine Eagles inhabiting the Greater Mindanao Faunal Region (Mindanao, Samar, Leyte) show little genetic variation, confirming that the country’s national bird is ...

Plant mutation breeding, also called variation breeding, is a method that uses physical radiation or chemical means to induce spontaneous genetic variation in plants to develop new crop varieties.

Asperger’s, now referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), involves a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Asperger’s was once considered a distinct condition but is no longer ...
