Parthenogenetic rock lizards, particularly those of the genus Darevskia, represent a fascinating model for understanding the interplay between genetics and ecology. Originating from interspecific ...

Using CLASSIC, Rice researchers realized that circuits are variable, having multiple pathways to elicit the same outcome.

The genetic improvement of alpaca fibre has emerged as a vital discipline at the crossroads of animal breeding and textile innovation. Research in this field seeks to elucidate the genetic ...

The bacteria Acinetobacter baumannii (A. baumannii) is a haunting presence in many hospitals in the United States, where more than one in 100 patients are treated for A. baumannii infections. This ...

A new study published in the journal Cerebral Cortex provides evidence that differences in general intelligence may be partly explained by the density of neurites within certain brain connections, and ...

Your intelligence genes: 52 and counting Live Science: Douglas Detterman, the Louis D. Beaumont University Professor Emeritus, discussed a study finding a correlation between 52 genes and intelligence ...

For more than a century, scientists have debated whether intelligence is mostly a product of nature or nurture. Identical twins—those born with the same genetic blueprint—have long been the perfect ...

The farmers of the future will soon have a new tool at their disposal. Within two years, an artificial intelligence system trained to recognise indicators of animal condition will take its place in ...

A study led by Dr. LI Chuanyun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has revealed how recently evolved human-specific genes—critical for ...
