Two researchers from Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah (the U) have discovered a gene variant found in high-altitude Andean populations that they believe could be a new biomarker for ...

Despite awe-inspiring diversity, nearly every lifeform – from bacteria to blue whales – shares the same genetic code. How and when this code came about has been the subject of much scientific ...

Scientists have successfully sequenced the genomes of seven people who lived in Europe between 42,000 and 49,000 years ago, ...

The presence of a previously unidentified population of stem cells in sea anemones suggests that these cells may have been ...

Do you get the sniffles when Tiddles gets too close? There could one day be a solution in the form of anti-allergy cats, and ...

Advances in genetic cell modifications are performed routinely in research laboratories, but clinical translation requires ...

The frequency of congenital lesions served to emphasize the fact that the fish were an isolated population probably subjected to considerable inbreeding and therefore had some genetic homogeneity.

Eye color is a complex genetic trait determined by pairings of genes passed on from each parent. Scientists once believed eye color was determined by a single gene, but advances in genetic research ...

The mean genetic distance among all Faroese R1a haplotypes was substantially lower than any other source population (2.55 ± 1.62). Swedish R1a haplotypes had the highest mean genetic distance (4.6 ± 0 ...

From a global population of approximately 2.5 billion in 1950 to an estimated 8 billion in mid-November 2022, the world’s population has grown exponentially. This growth is projected to continue ...

China is expected to lose over 50 million people in the next decade as its population decline accelerates, according to a new analysis. By 2025, China's population is projected to drop from its ...

We have shown that it is possible to deliver reproductive genetic carrier screening to the ethnically and socioeconomically diverse and geographically dispersed population in Australia.
