A new genomic analysis proposes that interbreeding between Homo sapiens and Neanderthals was strongly sex-biased. Pairings occurred primarily between Neanderthal males and modern human females. This ...

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

Scientists developed Evo 2, a large biological foundation model trained on about 9 trillion DNA base pairs that can analyse ...

Scientists have discovered a potential path out of devastating genetic bottlenecks that could help these Australian animals, ...

A new study published in Science is challenging long-held assumptions about how we measure genetic risk in endangered species. Researchers analyzed whole genomes from hundreds of koalas, finding that ...

Study reveals that evolutionary divergence occurred before ecological divergence, enabling these insects to feed on both wood and soil. Future discoveries may be applied to the production of biofuels.

The University of Chicago will honor three distinguished scholars, including chemist Sir Shankar Balasubramanian, during its Convocation ceremony for the Class of 2026 on June 6. The other two ...
