Koala populations with low genetic diversity are actually recovering by "reshuffling" their genes to remove harmful mutations ...

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.

Smithsonian researcher Sarah Johnson studies bison specimens to understand how the species’s genetic diversity changed after its decline ...

A landmark finding that suggests koala genetic diversity not the only deciding factor in successful regrowth of populations.

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum ...

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

Scientists are figuring out which of the 5,000 variants associated with schizophrenia have an actual causal effect in the development of the condition that affects millions of people worldwide.

James C. Schnable's pioneering genetics research got him recognized with the 2026 National Academy of Sciences Prize in Food ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Research on Tourette’s indicates that the condition is strongly influenced by inherited genetic factors, with environmental factors also contributing to its development. Tourette syndrome is a ...
