She received her Ph.D. at Duke University investigating the causes and consequences of genetic variation in wild baboons, under the supervision of Susan Alberts and Gregory Wray. She spent her ...

Humans have come a long way as the most dominant species on Earth, largely due to sophisticated adaptations, ingenuity, and ...

Allegedly, this invasive animal was brought to the U.S. because of someone's love for Shakespeare's literature.

Variation is the differences between individuals of the same species, caused by genetic and environmental factors. Surveys into variation give data that are continuous, which means to come in a ...

The majority of variation segregating in natural populations is quantitative, and its expression depends on genetic background, environment, and interactions with these two factors. Traditionally, the ...

Epigenetic variation, like genetic variation, can be inherited and influence traits across generations. However, epigenetic variation does not involve changes to the genetic sequence that makes up ...

Advancements in long-read sequencing technology have accelerated the study of large structural variants (SVs). We created a curated, publicly available, multi-ancestry S ...

In the past, this variation was always explained ... the first time that these models are affected by genetic background and that may have big consequences for the reliability of other cell ...

While the sociological realities of race are undeniable, racial categories do not make good predictions about genetic variation, he says. Because of the disconnect between race and genetics ...
