DNA evidence suggests homo sapiens women more often paired with Neanderthal men, helping explain why Neanderthal genes are rare.

Researchers at the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology have uncovered new evidence that two major types of gene-controlling DNA sequences, promoters and enhancers, operate with a shared ...

It turns out that mosquitoes have been bugging us for a very, very long time.

Duckweed is the fastest-growing flowering plant, but new knowledge of duckweed genetics discovered by Adelaide University researchers could lead to even faster growing rates. The research team, led by ...
