A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species ...

Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.

Genetics helped scarlet monkeyflower rebound after California’s megadrought — a real‑world example of rapid evolution.

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 ...

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...
