Genetic diversity is essential to the survival of a species. It's easy enough to maintain if a species reproduces sexually; an egg and a sperm combine genetic material from two creatures into one, ...

Groundbreaking research published today in Nature Genetics describes the largest-ever study into the genetics of random "round-the-clock" blood glucose levels. The study, involving almost half a ...

Cat domestication likely initiated as a symbiotic relationship between wildcats (Felis silvestris subspecies) and the peoples of developing agrarian societies in the Fertile Crescent. As humans ...

Conservation genetic theory suggests that small and isolated populations should be subject to reduced genetic diversity i.e., heterozygosity and allelic diversity. Our 34 years study of an isolated ...

Basic concepts in population genetics, including nucleotide diversity, random genetic drift, effective population size, coalescent theory, time to common ancestor, site frequency spectrum, linkage ...
