Animal breeding has traditionally focused on improving mean trait performance; however, contemporary research increasingly highlights the significance of genetic variation not only in trait means but ...

Genome assemblies from 65 individuals, representing a variety of the world’s populations, are advancing the scientific exploration of complex genetic structural variation. Structural variations are ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Human evolution is like the world’s most difficult puzzle; only small pieces of evidence remain on Earth. These few remains of our predecessors are searched for by many researchers to get a clearer ...
