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 ...

Plants are usually seen as stationary life forms, quietly supporting environments. But plant communities and populations are ...

Using genomes from 2,000 living humans as well as three Neanderthals and one Denisovan, an international team mapped the gene flow between the hominin groups over the past quarter-million years. Ever ...

"In fact, assisted gene flow has been successful in boosting resilience across many animal species and may offer a critical lifeline for struggling coral populations." Coral reefs worldwide are under ...

Killer whale populations in low latitudes have high genetic diversity despite having low population densities, as a result of genetic mixing, which plays a crucial role in their survival and ...

Ever since the first Neanderthal bones were discovered, people have wondered about these ancient hominins. How are they different from us? How much are they like us? Did our ancestors get along with ...
