Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a ...

Clinicians' ability to diagnose and treat chronic diseases is limited by scientific uncertainty around factors contributing to disease risk. A study published September 2 nd in the open-access journal ...

Even though farmers have been dealing with rice stink bugs as pests since the 1880s, entomologists are still getting to know ...

If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a “koala paradox”: endangered in the north of Australia, abundant in the south; genetically ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

Although mental disorders have multifactorial causes, genetics can explain some of them, yet this field remains largely unexplored in terms of guiding diagnoses and treatments.

This multidisciplinary project integrates computational biology, structural modelling, population genomics, and AI. It will provide new mechanistic insights into how coding variation and PTMs ...
