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

How cells respond to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage is not fully understood. This study uncovers a mechanism of mtDNA ...

Evolution is the basis of biological diversity, driven by mechanisms that allow organisms to adapt and survive. One such ...

Evolution is the basis of biological diversity, driven by mechanisms that allow organisms to adapt and survive. One such mechanism is polyploidy ...

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 ...

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

Established in October 2024 and the largest of its kind in South-east Asia, the Ocular Genetics Service (OGS) provides a centralised and specialised approach to diagnosing and managing inherited ...

“It’s only when the repeat becomes extremely long that it begins to cause harm,” said co-senior author Steve McCarroll, an institute member and director of genomic neurobiology at the Stanley Center ...

Whole genome sequencing, which is also being used widely to improve treatments of difficult-to-diagnose diseases as well as for genetic screening of newborns, has given hope to patients with ...

The study identifies 106 genetic variants linked to occupational status, highlighting the interplay between genetics, family environment, and childhood aspirations.

Scientists have found 697 genetic variants – or small changes within a gene – linked to depression, of which almost 300 were previously unknown. A Queensland scientist described the project as ...

Genetic algorithms are unique ways to solve complex problems by harnessing the power of nature. By applying these methods to predicting security prices, traders can optimize trading rules by ...
