Earth's biodiversity is in crisis. An imminent "sixth mass extinction" threatens beloved and important wildlife. It also threatens to reduce the amount of genetic diversity—or variation—within species ...

This research team at the LSU AgCenter is racing against extreme weather disasters to advance genetic storage technology and ...

A biotech company says it has bred three animals with key physical features of the dire wolf — a species that has been extinct for more than 12,000 years. Colossal Biosciences says it used novel ...

At a meeting of top conservation groups this week, a bioethics question took center stage: Should scientists be allowed to tinker with the genes of wild plants and animals? The tentative consensus so ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - A new study that examined animal species with a cancer resistance gene could provide help for human cancer research. Scientists have long been intrigued by Peto’s Paradox, which ...

Nagoya University researchers discovered a gene that actively suppresses food-odor detection in roundworms after reproduction ...

Humans have been selectively breeding cats and dogs for thousands of years to make more desirable pets. A new startup called the Los Angeles Project aims to speed up that process with genetic ...
