A new study reveals the genetic load of deleterious variations in different dog breeds, highlighting the genetic damage done by hundreds of years of selective breeding. When the symbiotic relationship ...

Sounds impossible, but it happened. For a moment, the news had the same jolt as discovering Santa Claus is real, but the ...

A new study has shown that selective breeding can lead to a modest rise in coral heat tolerance. The study documents the world s first effort to selectively breed adult corals for enhanced heat ...

Decades of selective breeding and intensive agricultural practices have reshaped cattle genetics—often at the expense of valuable diversity preserved in traditional herds—according to new research ...

A fungal pathogen has rendered the Southern corroboree frog functionally extinct. Can genomics technologies pull the species back from the brink? New research links early-life exposure to a common gut ...

A new breed of honey bees provides a major advance in the global fight against the parasitic Varroa mite, new research shows. The invasive mite, which has spread to all continents except Australia and ...
