The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...

Plant mutation breeding, also called variation breeding, is a method that uses physical radiation or chemical means to induce spontaneous genetic variation in plants to develop new crop varieties.

It’s called a pangenome, and it could explain the DNA that makes each of us unique. The joke about the Human Genome Project is how many times it’s been finished, but not actually. The first time was ...

What's the most genetically diverse species? A butterfly that comes in 20 colors? A bacterium that divides every 20 minutes, accumulating genetic mutations along the way? The current record holder, it ...

Gene editing may hold the key to rescuing endangered species—not just by preserving them, but by restoring their lost genetic diversity using DNA from museum specimens and related species. Scientists ...
