Africa’s largest elephant DNA study reveals growing genetic isolation as habitats shrink, raising urgent concerns for ...

The researchers identified regions with Neandertal ancestry in over 300 individuals. They assessed sharing of segments, inferred gene flow, and looked at variation to identify candidates for positive ...

Gene flow — the movement of genetic material between populations — is a powerful evolutionary force that shapes biodiversity, adaptation, and even our own human history. From pollen drifting on the ...

Using genomes from 2,000 living humans as well as three Neanderthals and one Denisovan, an international team mapped the gene flow between the hominin groups over the past quarter-million years. Ever ...

A new study finds that bacteria can actively block the transfer of beneficial genes to neighboring cells, using specialized ...

An international research team analyzed 232 whole genomes from both savanna and forest elephants, collected across 17 African ...

In the largest genomic mapping of Africa's elephants to date, an international team of researchers shows that elephant ...

Scientists found that salmon in rare chalk rivers are genetically different from other salmon. These unique fish may form ...
