When the worst drought on record struck parts of the US West Coast and Mexico, many plants didn’t make it. But against the ...

A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species ...

Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.

A genomic study of human and selected nonhuman primate centromeres has revealed their unimaginable diversity and speed of evolutionary change. Although centromeres are vital to proper cell replication ...

Genetics helped scarlet monkeyflower rebound after California’s megadrought — a real‑world example of rapid evolution.

A large-scale genomic study of koalas across eastern Australia has found that populations that went through severe ...

The genetic culprits responsible for the spread of multidrug resistance (MDR) in bacteria have been identified by new research mapping 100 years of bacterial evolution. Experts at the Wellcome Sanger ...

Humans are still evolving, and Tatum Simonson, PhD, founder and co-director of the Center for Physiological Genomics of Low Oxygen at University of California School of Medicine, plans to use ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.
