A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...

A biotech company says it has bred three animals with key physical features of the dire wolf — a species that has been extinct for more than 12,000 years. Colossal Biosciences says it used novel ...

Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...

Humans have been selectively breeding cats and dogs for thousands of years to make more desirable pets. A new startup called the Los Angeles Project aims to speed up that process with genetic ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - A new study that examined animal species with a cancer resistance gene could provide help for human cancer research. Scientists have long been intrigued by Peto’s Paradox, which ...

Pigs whose DNA makes them resistant to a virus could be the first big consumer product using gene editing. Most pigs in the US are confined to factory farms where they can be afflicted by a nasty ...

A committee-supported project or activity that has been completed and for which output dissemination has begun. Its committee has been disbanded and closeout procedures are underway. An ad hoc ...

Understanding how genes influence complex behaviors remains one of biology's most fascinating challenges. Now, however, in a recent study, researchers have compiled a comprehensive dataset documenting ...

Humans have selectively bred animals and crops since the beginning of agriculture, but advances in biotechnology have provided genetic tools to select specific traits. First applied to animals in the ...

The results of inbreeding can be very distressing to witness. In this Instagram post, we see a captive lion with skull deformities, and in this post, we see another lion with drastically shortened ...

Sylvia Nissen receives funding as a researcher on the MBIE Endeavour-funded project ‘Whatu raranga o ngā koiora: Weaving cultural authority into gene-drives targeting wasps’. Lincoln University ...
