Researchers generated complete genomes of two important bat species and explored their immune- and cancer-related genes.

Genetic engineering pioneer Kevin Esvelt’s work highlights biotechnology’s immense potential for good—but also for catastrophe.

Population geneticist Tábita Hünemeier seeks out isolated indigenous groups living in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest to expand understanding of the human genome.

The movements of so-called jumping genes can generate the genetic diversity needed to drive evolutionary change in populations over time.  

Scientists transferred light-harvesting proteins into yeast for the first time, shining a light on the past lives of eukaryotic cells.

Some species of lizards, grasshoppers, and crustaceans have adopted a ladies-only lifestyle.

DNA analysis gives clues to how the ancient hominin’s population split and how they interacted with modern humans.

A genetic study tracked the evolution of two transmissible cancers currently ravaging populations of Tasmanian devils.
