Groundbreaking research published today in Nature Genetics describes the largest-ever study into the genetics of random "round-the-clock" blood glucose levels. The study, involving almost half a ...
Genetic diversity is essential to the survival of a species. It's easy enough to maintain if a species reproduces sexually; an egg and a sperm combine genetic material from two creatures into one, ...

Evolution isn’t random — butterflies and moths reused the same two genes for identical warning colors across 120 million years
A bright red splash on a butterfly’s wing is more than a pretty pattern. It is a warning label, honed by millions of years of ...
Evolution seems to follow a script more often than expected. Researchers found that distantly related butterflies and moths have reused the same pair of genes for over 120 million years to produce ...

New research challenges 50-50 myth: Biological sex of children may not always be random
A new study is turning our understanding of biological sex determination on its head. Long taught in biology class as a 50-50 genetic lottery between X and Y chromosomes, the sex of a child may not be ...
Basic concepts in population genetics, including nucleotide diversity, random genetic drift, effective population size, coalescent theory, time to common ancestor, site frequency spectrum, linkage ...
