Emerging research suggests most European men can trace their lineage to people – most likely hunter-gatherers – who settled…
Researchers have unlocked the blueprints to the “power plants” within cells, providing clues that could help treat a range…
The low genetic diversity of the Iberian lynx – the most endangered carnivore in Europe – may not decrease the species’ chance…
A “spelling mistake” in a DNA sequence can trigger a process that switches a crucial anti-cancer gene off, thereby boosting the risk of cancer developing, researchers have found. In a paper published in…
Want to avoid getting eaten? If you’re a butterfly, it seems it pays to team up with another foul-tasting species and copy each others markings. Scientists have unlocked the genetic mechanism by which…
In one of the largest human genetic studies ever undertaken, scientists have identified the major common genetic variants that contribute to the cause of the devastating neurological disease, multiple…
New research has identified more genes related to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and shows an overlap between…
Female mosquitoes cannot tell if a male she has mated with is fertile or “spermless” and unable to fertilise her eggs. The…
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has found Myriad Genetics is entitled to patents on two sets human genetic mutations used to predict if women have an increased risk of breast and ovarian…
Researchers have constructed the world’s most detailed genetic map, including, for the first time, data from African Americans…
Monogamy has been found to enhance the cooperative social structure of insects such as bees, wasps and ants. These insects…
Scientists today said they were appalled and disappointed by Greenpeace protesters who whippersnippered a genetically modified wheat crop being grown as part of a CSIRO trial. The trial crop was part of…
A specific DNA variant is linked with a person’s likelihood of suffering sudden cardiac death, according to researchers at…
A genetic instruction controlling limb development was present in fish almost half a billion years ago, researchers at a…
New information about a form of auto-immune arthritis which can damage the spine has been found by researchers from the University…
Scientists have unlocked the complex genetic code of the potato, paving the way for new techniques to breed a tougher, more disease-resistant tuber. Potatoes are crucial to global food security but are…
Imagine taking a thousand copies of a phone book, shredding them all together, then trying to use the overlapping pieces to reconstruct a copy. This is a simple problem compared to assembling the human…
DNA “fingerprinting” and “barcoding” methods used to identify and track logs and wood products, particularly those being…
The genomes of the recent German E. coli outbreak have revealed crucial insights into the origins of this deadly strain. The bacteria was found in German bean sprouts but it didn’t originate from the gut…
