Not all DNA looks like the familiar twisted ladder. Sometimes, parts of our genetic code fold into unusual shapes. One such ...

Genetic AI is pushing beyond the familiar realm of deep learning and opening up entirely new dimensions for problem-solving, ...

A controversial new paper argues these widely trusted tests might be fundamentally flawed — and potentially dangerous.

Today, many screening approaches apply targeted genotypic perturbations across an otherwise constant genetic background, such that differential phenotypes can be directly attributed to the ...

Alligators and crocodiles share ancestry but belong to different families. They diverged millions of years ago. This ...

Philopatry may restrict individual dispersion, leading to inbreeding, which consequently reduces heterozygosity; philopatry also increases the effects of genetic drift due to population subdivision ...

Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

To investigate the shared genetic drift between the Shangshihe population and other groups, we calculated the outgroup f3-statistics and f4-statistics using the qp3pop v651 and qpDstat v980 programs ...

Mounting evidence from genome studies indicates that, contrary to received wisdom, our species has undergone profound ...
