Two complementary genome-wide association studies provide new insights into how host genetics influence the human gut microbiome.

A large-scale genomic study of koalas across eastern Australia has found that populations that went through severe ...

A study expands the list of known genes with circadian variation and provides the first comprehensive list of genes with seasonal variation in each tissue. Tissues in the thoracic cavity, such as the ...

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 ...

As koalas in southern Australia have grown from a few hundred to almost half a million, the marsupials show signs of regaining lost genetic variation.

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project gave us the first sequence of the human genome, albeit based on DNA from a small handful of people. Building upon its success, the 1000 Genomes Project was ...

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.

AUSTRALIA, March 8: Recent research on koalas challenges conventional assumptions about genetic health and extinction risk. Koala populations across Australia show a complex picture: northern ...

The daily rotation of Earth and its yearly voyage around the Sun marks the natural rhythm of life on the planet. Human health indicators such as body temperature, blood pressure and sleep, as well as ...
