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

Most of the human induced pluripotent stem cells stored at major cell line repositories and used in research harbor thousands of DNA errors, a study finds, highlighting the need for improved quality control measures.

Height and onset of menarche are among traits linked to previously unidentified genetic variants in noncoding regions of the human genome.

A chromosome-scale genome sequence for this infamous agricultural pest could help mitigate its plagues.

Genetic studies have made it clear that eukaryotic horizontal gene transfer can and does happen. Exactly how, though, remains speculative.

DNA passed to and from all kinds of organisms, even across kingdoms, has helped shape the tree of life, to a large and undisputed degree in microbes and also unexpectedly in multicellular fungi, plants, and animals.

The researchers who constructed the first reference genome for this critically endangered mollusk say it will assist restoration efforts.

The first high-quality genome for a marine isopod may shed light on how this group of crustaceans adapted to the deep, dark depths of the ocean.

Research finds that a dog’s behavior has little to do with its genes.

These tiny reef fish harbor luminous bacteria, and the chromosome-level assembly of the species’ genome may facilitate the duo’s use as a vertebrate model for symbiosis.

Analyzing the whole genome sequences of more than 18,000 tumors, researchers catalog nearly 60 new patterns of mutations that could inform cancer treatment.

The near-complete genome of a recently extinct rodent elucidates the potential—and difficulties—of resurrecting species.

Caskey’s contributions to the field were instrumental to modern genetics.
