The researchers identified regions with Neandertal ancestry in over 300 individuals. They assessed sharing of segments, inferred gene flow, and looked at variation to identify candidates for positive ...

Africa’s largest elephant DNA study reveals growing genetic isolation as habitats shrink, raising urgent concerns for ...

Gene flow — the movement of genetic material between populations — is a powerful evolutionary force that shapes biodiversity, adaptation, and even our own human history. From pollen drifting on the ...

Two recent studies suggest that the gene flow (as the young people call it these days) between Neanderthals and our species happened during a short period sometime between 50,000 and 43,500 years ago.

A new study finds that bacteria can actively block the transfer of beneficial genes to neighboring cells, using specialized ...

An international research team analyzed 232 whole genomes from both savanna and forest elephants, collected across 17 African ...

In the largest genomic mapping of Africa's elephants to date, an international team of researchers shows that elephant ...
