Researchers from the University of Illinois have identified a key process coordinating liver maturation and polyploidization, ...

Diabetes Test Results: Types of Tests and How to Read Them If you or someone in your family has diabetes, you might be wondering if it is genetic. There are different types of diabetes. For each type, ...

One such mechanism is polyploidy, where organisms carry extra copies of their genomes. While polyploidy provides genetic redundancy by allowing mutations without affecting survival, it can also slow ...

While polyploidy provides genetic redundancy by allowing mutations without affecting survival, it can also slow evolutionary progress by diluting beneficial mutations. This paradox has intrigued ...

A recent study at Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo has developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy—organisms carrying extra genome ...

Polyploidy can be the result of a spontaneous multiplication of a plants genetic material or through hybridization, and is extremely common in domesticated crops.

Scientists from a collaboration of Australian research institutions have proposed that editing multiple genetic variants in human embryos could significantly lower the likelihood of developing ...

Cranswick is continuing its relentless drive for growth, with the acquisition of one of the biggest names in the UK pig sector – JSR Genetics. In its third quarter trading statement, the Hull-based ...

Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe a never-before-seen link between the two most accepted explanations: random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic modifications.
