Scientists have uncovered a 400-million-year-old genetic secret that gave spiders the ability to produce silk and weave their ...

Frozen wolf pup stomach tissue produced a complete woolly rhino genome, implying stable genetics right before extinction hit ...

Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ...

The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...

The work marks the first time an Ice Age animal’s complete genome has been recovered from tissue preserved inside another ancient animal.

Researchers from the Centre for Palaeogenetics have managed to analyse the genome from a 14,400-year-old woolly rhinoceros, ...
