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

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Researchers have identified a genetic sequence that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is found in all plant species, it is expected to contribute to future crossbreeding initiatives ...

Introduction: changes -- Part I. The science. Cells, chromosomes, DNA, genomes, and genes ; Reproduction: in general and in humans ; Infertility and assisted ...

The use of ‘serious’ to describe certain genetic conditions is pivotal in determining current and future applications of repro-genetic technologies. From Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), through ...

A recent study published in the American Journal of Human Biology suggests that a genetic preference for immediate rewards is linked to less education and earlier parenthood. This provides evidence ...
