Monash University scientists have uncovered how invasive plants like white clover rapidly adapt to new environments, revealing genetic changes that underpin their global success.

Genetic variation also plays a major role. It doesn’t encode trauma itself, but it shapes traits such as sensitivity to ...

Microorganisms—bacteria, viruses and other tiny life forms—may drive biological variation in visible life as much, if not ...

Genetic and epigenetic modifications are widely considered to be mechanisms of phenotypic variation, triggered in plants responding to extreme changing environments. However, understanding on ...

Feb 29, 2024 Share this article: The following is a summary of “PLCG2-associated immune dysregulation (PLAID) comprises broad and distinct clinical presentations related to functional classes of ...

But, when researchers looked at the genetic code, the protist Oligohymenophorea sp. PL0344 turned out to be a novel species with an unlikely change in how its DNA is translated into proteins.

By identifying new genes and rediscovering some of the genes previously identified in non-Europeans, the study expands genetic knowledge on human eyebrow variation, which is of broad interest and ...

How much of a role does genetics play in obesity? There are hundreds of genes that influence fat storage and metabolism. So, do we have any control over our weight at all? The experts weigh in.

Rather, human genetic variation is the result of many forces—historical, social, biological—and no single variable fully represents this complexity.

Race, ethnicity, and ancestry labels are often used in genomics and genetics research to describe human genetic differences, which is misleading and inaccurate. Researchers and scientists who utilize ...
