Frozen wolf pup stomach tissue produced a complete woolly rhino genome, implying stable genetics right before extinction hit fast.

Polyploid genomes, formed through repeated whole-genome duplication and hybridization, underpin the evolution of many important crops, yet their internal structure often remains unresolved when ...

Researchers from the Center for Paleogenetics have managed to analyze the genome from a 14,400-year-old woolly rhinoceros, ...

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...

Cancer doesn’t evolve by pure chaos. Scientists have developed a powerful new method that reveals the hidden rules guiding how cancer cells gain and lose whole chromosomes—massive genetic shifts that ...

Learn about the woolly rhino genome that was recovered from a wolf's stomach, providing insight on the extinct species' genetic health.

The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide. Viruses are known to use the ...

The stomach of an Ice Age puppy is shedding new light onto the woolly rhinoceros and what—or what didn't—cause these horned ...

Research led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is shedding new light on how ovarian cancer evolves - insights that could help researchers develop more effective treatment strategies.
