The extinction of the Neanderthals is one of the most intriguing mysteries in paleoanthropology, with researchers speculating ...

Genetic variation describes the genotypic and phenotypic differences between individuals in a population, and between populations. This variation arises through genetic mutation and is important ...

Feb. 27, 2025 — Researchers examined dozens of bird species in museum collections looking for differences in the feathers and bodies between birds that can fly and birds that can't. They found ...

Scientists employ deep learning to analyze and compare gene regulation across various cell types in human and chicken brains.

Neanderthals Likely Went Extinct as They Lost Their Genetic Diversity Over Time, Being Racially Exclusive For over 250,000 ...

Social insects present outstanding opportunities for studies of genome evolution because of great variation in genetic properties between species, including chromosome number and genome size 102,103.
