Genetic variation describes naturally occurring genetic differences among individuals of the same species. This variation permits flexibility and survival of a population in the face of changing ...

Genetic variation describes the genotypic and phenotypic differences between individuals in a population, and between populations. This variation arises through genetic mutation and is important ...

Whether you have lobed or lobeless ears is due to genetic causes. Biological sex is also an inherited variation - whether you are male or female is a result of genes you inherited from your parents.

Could a novel approach to genetic studies give us a clearer picture of how evolutionary adaptations occur? That's what the ...

A recent study reveals a significant decline in genetic diversity among animal and plant populations, with two-thirds of species affected. This reduction in genetic variation threatens species' ...

Two-thirds of animal and plant populations are declining in genetic diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to ...

"We believe that by leveraging loss of heterozygosity and natural genetic variations in the cancer cells, we can uncover new treatment options that lead to targeted therapies tailored to each ...
