Wildlife populations that become small and isolated, often due to habitat loss, inevitably experience inbreeding which can lead to the loss of fitness and eventual extinction. One solution is to ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

Investigative genetic genealogy has moved from a niche forensic tool to a widely watched method for identifying unknown people when conventional DNA searches reach a dead end. The technique sits at ...

For many diseases and chronic conditions, an individual's genes play a role in their likelihood of developing the disease. While some inherited diseases, such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell anemia, ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Researchers in Basel have created SEED/Harvest, a new CRISPR-based technique that tags proteins without leaving any genetic “scars.” By blending two powerful methods, it allows scientists to study ...

A team led by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the National Cancer Institute has developed a new algorithm for genetic risk-scoring for major diseases across diverse ...

For the first time and with the help of CRISPR technology: A new large-scale genetic modification method makes it possible to reveal the role and properties of duplicated genes in plants The ...

The Idaho Fish and Game Department is implementing a new genetic-based method to determine Idaho’s wolf populations. Eric Cole USFWS Just a few years after the Idaho Department of Fish and Game ...
