The country's largest-ever genomic study has identified unique genetic variants—a crucial step in closing a longstanding gap ...

Scientists report adaptive divergence in cryptic color pattern is underlain by two distinct, complex chromosomal rearrangements, where millions of bases of DNA were flipped backwards and moved from ...

The Madison County resident is grateful he didn't give his chromosomes to a company to test because of all the negative ...

Understanding the material basis of adaptive evolution has been a central goal in biology dating back to at least the time of ...
