The genome sequences of 51 giraffes from all over Africa contribute to the latest attempt in an ongoing pursuit to pin down a species number.

A high school student uses crowdfunding to produce the first genome assembly for this popular aquarium species, underscoring the increasing feasibility of whole-genome sequencing.

The Scientist spoke with University of Wollongong ecologist Dana Bergstrom about protecting the continent’s native plants and animals in the face of climate change and a growing human presence.

Whole genome sequences reveal multiple domestications of this agriculturally important tree and may hold the secrets to producing the sweet fruit year round.

The first reference-quality genome for this grass species could aid managers in understanding and eradicating this highly invasive plant.

A high-quality genome sequence for this versatile insect will likely aid eco-evolutionary research.

Sequences for the model organism and two of its kin reveal how these plants got their oversized genomes.
