The vaginal microbiome, a complex ecosystem inhabited by diverse microbial communities, plays a pivotal role in maintaining reproductive health and protecting against infections. Recent advancements ...

Genetic researcher Nathan Clark spoke about research his team at the University of Pittsburgh conducted on evolutionary genetics. The seminars are hosted weekly by the University of Wisconsin Genetics ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Modern humans descended from ...

The discovery may have important implications for evolutionary genetics. Many genetic mutations are neutral, meaning that they can slowly accumulate over time without affecting the viability of the ...

Part One. The basics of population genetics -- Part Two. Complex genetic systems -- Part Three. Special topics in evolution -- Part Four. Evolutionary ecology of single populations -- Part Five.

Unlike the nuclear genome, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is small, circular, and maternally inherited. This simplifies lineage tracing and can guide inferences of evolutionary relationships as part ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...
