A deeper understanding of how DNA changes over generations helps scientists learn why people differ and how diseases develop.

Researchers at the IPK Leibniz Institute have discovered a previously unknown protein that is central to plant reproduction.

New research on armadillos reveals how DNA shuffling rates evolve. These ancient mammals have surprisingly similar rates, ...

Shift Up boss Hyung-tae Kim has described both character action game Stellar Blade and smartphone smash hit NIKKE: Goddess of Victory as “akin to his children”, and so his company is going ...

Key takeaways The proper transfer of genetic materials depends on two key proteins: PCH-2 and HIM-3 Errors in the process, known as meiotic crossover recombination, could lead to disorders such as ...

Crossovers are non-randomly distributed along the genome, suggesting a mechanism of genome-wide coordination. We have previously shown that crossover sites become designated when the broken chromosome ...

Game theory is explored via a maze application where combinatorial optimization occurs with the objective of traversing through a defined maze with an aim to enhance decision support and locate the ...

1. Introduction Solution convergence and result quality within a genetic algorithm are limited to the variety of new favorable offspring that can be generated following chromosome crossover between ...

In our latest deep-dive into the characters of Marvel Comics, we explore X-23, a.k.a. Laura Kinney. In this piece, we’ll ...

We call this process "crossover interference," and it implies there is a signal that is transmitted millions of base pairs along the chromosome pair. “My work aims to understand what designates breaks ...

Crossover interference, where one crossover inhibits the formation of another crossover nearby along the same chromosome, was initially identified by fruit fly geneticist Hermann J. Muller in 1916.
