The completion of a South American lung fish genome sequencing represents one of the most remarkable moments within current genetic research. Because .

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time, the technology ...

Horses have played a critical role in shaping human society, but scientists are still piecing together the story of their domestication. Reading time 3 minutes Roughly 4,500 years ago, humans forged a ...

Several genetic variants associated with social behavior in honey bees are located within genes that have previously been linked to social behavior in humans, Ian Traniello at the University of ...

Humans were isolated in southern Africa for about 100,000 years, which caused them to "fall outside the range of genetic variation" seen in modern-day people, a new genetic study reveals. The finding ...

Two small genetic changes reshaped the human pelvis, setting our early ancestors on the path to upright walking, scientists say. One genetic change flipped the ilium — the bone your hands rest on when ...

New genetic research shows that DNA and archaeological evidence align with the "long chronology" of the peopling of Australia. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
