An international research team led by scientists from the University of Vienna has uncovered new insights into how ...

For the first time, scientists have systematically studied the genetic effects of chemotherapy on healthy tissues.

This is the first time such results have been achieved in both children and adult patients born with a specific type of ...

How does the CRISPR Down Syndrome breakthrough work to remove the extra chromosome 21? We are closer than ever to a world ...

Generations Z and Alpha are growing up in an extremely stressful environment. They’re effectively drifting on the tides of ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

As war continues to rage in Gaza and Ukraine, there is concern about how the related trauma might be transmitted to future ...

Researchers have uncovered new patterns of DNA damage associated with specific chemotherapy drugs to guide cancer treatment for less effects.

We suggest that the methodology developed in the present study should be applied for analyzing other populations of Northeast Brazil, in order to ascertain their consanguinity levels and also to ...

Insurance companies say their policies won't cover genetic drift, the term used to describe cross-pollination between biotech and nonbiotech fields. That reflects not only the novelty of the problem ...

Since drift only influences fixation time, which can have a significant effect in short-term evolution (as shown in Fig 2), but it does not affect fixation rate itself. In contrast, selection ...

We are only suggesting that the Haldane model can be extensively generalized to be an alternative approach to genetic drift. The GH model attempts to integrate population genetics and ecology and, ...
