Researchers have uncovered a link between the spread of antibiotic resistance in humans and livestock genes and the evolution of drug resistance in pathogens.

Researchers show that male glassfrogs that care for their offspring have smaller testes than males of species that do not provide any brood care. This indicates an evolutionary trade-off between sperm production and parenting.

The tendency of species to become more similar or more distinct across landscapes are balanced, reports new research.

Viral damage to the gut has been linked to premature biological aging through the impact of leaky gut on the immune system.

Comparison of over 200 high-quality butterfly and moth genomes reveals key insights into their biology, evolution and diversification over the last 250 million years, as well as clues for conservation.

A new study discovered that the hindbrain–the part of the brain controlling vital functions like blood pressure and heart rate–of both sea lampreys and humans is built using an extraordinarily similar molecular and genetic toolkit.

Trust, a cornerstone of human interaction, has a significant genetic component, with around 33% of the variation between individuals attributed to our genes.

The findings, more than a decade in the making, reveal a rich diversity of beneficial fungi living in boreal forest trees, with implications about the health of forests.

A new approach uses a retrotransposon from birds to insert genes into "safe harbors" in the genome, holding promise for gene therapy.

A new study scoured ~10,000 ancient genomes in search of trisomies, such as Down Syndrome. Combined with archeological analyses, the data reveal how these infants were perceived in ancient societies.
