A new study published in Nature Medicine reports on a chromosomal analysis of over 1,700 spontaneous early miscarriages.

Researchers in the United States have computed genome-wide covariation within severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) to investigate interactions that could be of considerable ...

Ancestral genome reconstruction suggested a whole-genome triplication event followed by chromosomal rearrangements that shaped the current 15-chromosome structure.

That's because the oldest previously sequenced genome was about 10 times younger than the horse's. But the scientists pressed on, and tweaked a new method for analyzing genetic information.

Scientists have mapped the genetic code for the bonobo, and some researchers say the gentle ape's genome may eventually reveal secrets about how the darker side of our nature evolved.

The computer-generated loops formed in the same way as loops found in human cells, and the researchers could predict from the genome sequence where those loops would form.

An international research team has sequenced the genome of the coffee plant Coffea canephora. By comparing genes in the coffee, tea and chocolate plants, the scientists show that enzymes involved ...

The genome is assembled into a total of seven chromosome-level scaffolds, and most are complete with telomere sequences on one or both ends.

Scientists have cracked the genetic code of a songbird for the first time, identifying more than 800 genes linked to song learning in a finding that may shed light on human speech disorders.

In what may be a first for a long-extinct non-human animal -- and certainly for an extinct creature of such stature -- scientists have assembled the complete genome of the woolly mammoth, gaining ...

Our species arose in Africa more than 300,000 years ago, with the oldest-known Homo sapiens fossils discovered at a site in Morocco called Jebel Irhoud, located between Marrakech and the Atlantic ...

The newly sequenced genome of the coffee plant reveals secrets about the evolution of man’s best chemical friend: caffeine.
