SILVER CITY, N.M.— Thirty conservation organizations today urged wildlife agencies to take science-based actions to protect Mexican gray wolves after a new analysis showed that the endangered species’ ...

The Citrus genus represents a globally significant group of fruit crops, characterised by a remarkable genetic diversity that underpins both its wide geographical distribution and diverse commercial ...

Most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries—a long-standing bias that may limit the accuracy of scientific predictions for people from other populations.

Genetic diversity within many species is declining globally, according to a recently published study. “Any threat that reduces the size of a population, or which causes a larger population to become ...

A decade-long study has discovered huge genetic potential that is untapped in modern wheat varieties. A decade-long collaborative study has discovered huge genetic potential that is untapped in modern ...

Despite decades of efforts focused on mosquito eradication, drug therapies, and vaccines, malaria remains hard to beat, especially in Africa. The World Health Organization’s World Malaria Report 2024 ...

The National Science Foundation will fund research at UC Santa Cruz that will examine the DNA of brown bears in the lower 48 states, where the iconic beast’s numbers have seen catastrophic declines ...

Genomics is revolutionizing medicine and science, but current approaches still struggle to capture the breadth of human genetic diversity. Pangenomes that incorporate many people’s DNA could be the ...

The new analysis traces Indian ancestry back to a migration out of Africa around 50,000 years ago, after which humans interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans and then spread throughout Eurasia.

A new study from the NIH’s All of Us program is shaking up long-held assumptions by revealing that genetic ancestry rarely aligns with racial labels — and that the interplay between biology and ...
