Genetic diversity is being lost across many species – especially birds and mammals. But you can help stop the decline.

DNA transcription is the vital first step needed for switching on our genes. For a gene to be switched on, it must be acted ...

In the most comprehensive global analysis of genetic diversity ever undertaken, an international team of scientists has found that the genetic diversity is being lost across the globe but that ...

Humans are now known to have between 20,000 and 25,000 genes, but researchers still have much to learn about these small ...

Your body is a collection of cells carrying thousands of genetic mistakes accrued over a lifetime—many harmless, some bad and ...

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 ...

An emerging field of genetics promises to let parents choose the “healthiest” baby.

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

There are three types of genetic operations that can then be performed: Crossovers represent the reproduction and crossover seen in biology, whereby a child takes on certain characteristics of its ...
