A genomic study reveals koalas experienced a severe population decline around 100,000 years ago due to climate change, long before human arrival. Modern koalas descend from a single ancestral population that survived

Researchers say the Pacific golden sweeper cannot make its own luciferase and instead acquires the light-producing protein from tiny crustaceans it eats.

An analysis of 470 flowering plant genomes suggests ancient genome duplications clustered around periods of environmental upheaval, potentially helping angiosperms survive mass extinctions.

A newly published Science study reports that a single-cell multiomic analysis identified dysregulated molecular and gene-regulatory mechanisms in the developing Down syndrome neocortex.

Researchers analyzing hundreds of samples identified oral and gut microbial signatures linked to gastric cancer, suggesting saliva-based screening could help detect disease earlier and clarify how mouth bacteria help re-

Researchers say new genetic causes of diabetes in babies have been found in non-coding regions of the genome that older studies often overlooked.

A new Nature Medicine report describes the detection of mpox clade IIb in the Republic of the Congo alongside clades Ia and Ib, highlighting a more complex outbreak picture and the need for stronger surveillance and case

A new genome study focused on urban Peruvians points to a larger problem in global health research: Latin American populations remain sparsely represented in genetic epidemiology.

A newly listed Science paper focuses on the population genomics of Anopheles darlingi, the principal malaria vector in South America, pointing to the growing role of genomics in tracking and controlling mosquito-borne疾病.

Optical genome mapping detects previously missed genetic variants in nearly 20% of acute leukemia patients, potentially changing treatment plans.

A mysterious RNA molecule found in breast cancer tissue has led researchers to uncover approximately 260,000 cancer-specific small RNAs across 32 tumor types. These orphan non-coding RNAs act as molecular barcodes for cancer identity and could transform how doctors detect and monitor the disease.
