Population genetic structure refers to the non-random distribution of genetic variation within and between populations of a species. It arises from factors such as migration, drift, selection and ...

Human, chimpanzee and gorilla brain organoids reveal how shared genes operate differently, offering clues to stem-cell shape ...

Spatial genetic structure and gene flow together determine the distribution of genetic diversity within and among plant populations. Spatial genetic structure arises when limited seed and pollen ...

The remarkable intelligence of octopuses, squid, and cuttlefish may trace back to an ancient reshuffling of their DNA that created new connections between genes. Scientists discovered that these ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be helpful for learners to begin with the linear presentation of how ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment opportunity for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The discovery, ...
