An international team of researchers has identified a genetic variant—the first new genetic variant related to HIV infection discovered in decades—that may explain why some people of African ancestry ...

Even as humpbacks rebound in number, their genomes reveal a loss of genetic diversity and a buildup of harmful mutations left ...

Researchers have identified a positive correlation between viral load and the rate at which genetic diversity increases within intrahost HIV populations. HIV has been historically difficult to treat ...

The release of captive bred animals carefully selected for their genes can make a significant contribution to the successful recovery of the dwindling wild population and avert the prospect of ...

There is a large degree of overlap between the genetic causes of autism and ADHD. Now, researchers from Aarhus University have found gene variants, which increase the risk of developing only one of ...
