Genetics tools have advanced significantly in recent decades, and have allowed scientist to sequence all of the genetic ...

Two naturally mummified individuals buried roughly 7,000 years ago in a Libyan rock shelter have yielded ancient genomes that reveal a previously unknown, long-isolated North African lineage. The ...

A genetic analysis reveals that ancient pairings between humans and Neanderthals favored female humans mating with male Neanderthals, shedding light on their interactions.

Crawfish and shrimp are multi-million dollar industries in our state, and Louisiana scientists are working to preserve that ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...

Viruses are known to use the genetic machinery of the human cells they invade to make copies of themselves. As part of the process, viruses leave behind remnants throughout the genetic material ...

Researchers at McGill University and the United States Forest Service have found that plants living in areas where human ...

An Ice Age double burial in Italy has yielded a stunning genetic revelation. DNA from a mother and daughter who lived over 12,000 years ago shows that the younger had a rare inherited growth disorder, ...

Plants can carry long-lasting genetic damage from past population crashes, leaving them more vulnerable to future environmental change.
