Scientists created transgenic mice with woolly mammoth–like traits. But does it really bring us closer to bringing back woolly mammoths?

Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by accident. Scientists have long known that whole-genome ...

Life has evolved over billions of years, adapting to the changing environment. Similarly, enzymes—proteins that speed up ...

Resilience relies on the brain’s ability to regulate emotion, adapt, and recover. Myelin plasticity helps speed up and stabilize resilient brain responses. Genes like FKBP5 and BDNF affect how people ...

To explore these adaptations, the researchers analyzed Marchantia polymorpha subpopulations from Europe, America, and Japan, creating a population genomics database. By correlating genetic ...

"We know that genetic diversity is what enables populations and species to adapt to future changes in their environment," ...

However, using cutting-edge techniques, we overcame these challenges.We found evidence that different populations have evolved genetic differences to adapt to their local habitats. In particular, ...

An international team, led by the Immunogenetics Research Laboratory (IRLab) at the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU ...

Koalas infected with the retrovirus are at a higher risk of chlamydia, which has devastated populations in Queensland and New South Wales. The virus has also been linked to lymphomas that have caused ...
