The study of genetic diversity and phylogenetics in donkey breeds has rapidly evolved, providing profound insights into breed origins, evolutionary relationships and the domestication process. By ...

Grapevines have been cultivated for millennia and remain central to both cultural heritage and the modern wine industry. Recent genomic investigations have revealed an intricate spectrum of genetic ...

Climate change is rapidly altering our environment – and posing major challenges for many animal species. Whether they can adapt depends largely on their genetic diversity. An international study ...

A Stanford-led study found that snow leopards have the lowest genetic diversity among all big cats, a dubious distinction previously held by cheetahs. Without a variety of genetic adaptations to fall ...

The new analysis traces Indian ancestry back to a migration out of Africa around 50,000 years ago, after which humans interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans and then spread throughout Eurasia.

Evolutionary biologists have long believed that the human-biting mosquito, Culex pipiens form molestus,evolved from the ...

A mosquito that was believed to have evolved in the London Underground is actually of ancient Mediterranean origin, genetic data revealed.

A new study from the NIH’s All of Us program is shaking up long-held assumptions by revealing that genetic ancestry rarely aligns with racial labels — and that the interplay between biology and ...
