Using full genome sequencing data from more than 347,000 individuals, researchers quantified how much genetic differences explain human traits such as height, body mass index, fertility, and disease ...

Gut microbes are essential partners that help digest food, produce vitamins and train the immune system. They can also pass ...

Research into genetic variation and wool traits in sheep and goats has revealed critical insights into the structural composition and quality of animal fibres. Studies have focused on ...

When scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen set out to study how traits pass from one generation to ...

Some Juneau friends planted holly bushes in their front yard a few years ago. Those bushes grew well, producing dark green leaves with smooth edges. However, during a few winters of heavy snow, deer ...

In this study, we analysed the impact of study design and life history traits on genetic variation of plants determined with amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs), a technique widely applied ...
