The genetic code of all 500,000 UK Biobank volunteer participants will be sequenced by researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK and deCODE genetics in Iceland. This project is the single most ambitious sequencing programme in the world undertaken by a public-private partnership, and will power the next wave of genetic and health research

Rainforests are home to over half of the world's plant and animal species. Learn about tropical and temperate rainforests, how they contribute to the global ecosystem, and the conservation efforts being done to protect these biomes.

Hurricanes can be deadly to plants, people and animals caught in their paths. The idea that such destructive events could drive natural selection is controversial. Now, new research on Caribbean lizards seems to suggest that recent hurricanes have selected for certain traits. These traits could help them cope with high wind speeds and might even be advantageous enough to influence their evolution.
