The order of these nucleotides in a genome defines the "blueprint" of life. The DNA code can sometimes evolve in a way that shifts the overall composition of DNA nucleotides across the whole genome.

“It’s very, very clear that these major changes in [DNA] composition are happening in a very short interval,” says Berv. From there, the scientist used a machine learning model to link those ...

Understanding the genetic composition of Amla can help us understand their origins, evolution, and how they create the biochemicals that are of medicinal value.

Plant-associated microbiota can contribute significantly to plant growth and yield. How host genetic variation affects the root-microbiome assembly is an open question. In this study, researchers used ...

Most breeds of chicken go around barefoot, with no feathers on their talons. But a new study found a simple genetic method to reverse this, neatly transforming scales into something else. Even the ...
