Researchers from the University of Vienna and the University of Wisconsin- Madison have created the first chromosome-level ...

It's not easy to look at a sea spider and see an animal so representative of its kind that it may help scientists sort out ...

An international collaboration featuring the University of Vienna and the University of Wisconsin-Madison (USA) has led to ...

Researchers sequenced the genome of a sea spider, revealing it lacks whole-genome duplication seen in related arachnids. This ...

Scientists have sequenced the largest known animal genome — and it's 30 times bigger than the human genome. The genome belongs to the South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa), a primeval ...

Scientists have sequenced the largest genome of all animals, the lungfish genome. Their data help to explain how the fish-ancestors of today's land vertebrates were able to conquer land.

Scientists have sequenced the largest animal genome to date—and it belongs to an eel-like fish that breathes air. The genome of the South American lungfish (Lepidosiren paradoxa) takes the cake ...

Because they rely on hosts for a majority of functions, viruses aren’t considered alive. But entities like this one ...

New research suggests that a class of antibiotics commonly used in poultry and other food-producing animals, but not in ...

An analysis of mpox virus genomes from individuals infected between 2018 and 2023 has provided insights into how the virus ...

Without a reference genome, scientists didn't know whether any of those stem cells had picked up harmful mutations during lab growth—a common problem in both human and animal stem cells.
