Scientists have uncovered a 400-million-year-old genetic secret that gave spiders the ability to produce silk and weave their ...

Frozen wolf pup stomach tissue produced a complete woolly rhino genome, implying stable genetics right before extinction hit ...

Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ...

The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...

University of Iowa biologists discovered that a New Zealand freshwater snail duplicated its entire genome, capturing a rare evolutionary transitory state. The finding shows how large-scale genetic ...
