The world’s polar bear population is projected to decline by two-thirds by 2050. A new study from the University of East Anglia suggests that polar bears are undergoing rapid genetic changes, and ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Changes in genes have been linked to the development of different diseases for a while. However, it's not exactly clear what ...

With climate change steadily dismantling the icy habitat essential to their existence, new research suggests polar bears are rapidly rewiring their own genetics in a bid to survive. The species is ...

A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop. Until recently, many fast-changing parts of the human genome remained ...

Horses are exceptional athletes, able to push their large bodies further and faster than just about any other animal. A new study in the journal Science suggests that an unusual genetic change might ...

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...
