This month, the Philadelphia Zoo announced the arrival of four hatchlings born to the male tortoise Abrazzo and the aptly ...

With the help of a modern wolf’s genetic code, a Texas-based company says DNA from the extinct dire wolf is now back in ...

Even more remarkably, Mommy is the oldest first-time parent of her species, according to a press release from the zoo. Mommy ...

A good gene pool, like love, is where you find it. Now genomics researchers have two new ones to swoon over: one from Estonia, a crossroads of Scandinavian cultures and the northernmost of the former ...

A gene pool is the collective set of genes found across all organisms in a population. In this page, you will learn about variation within gene pools, as well as the ways in which this variation ...

The Gene Pool can be nasty. And it turns out people like nasty in these deeply polarized, paranoid times because they are so angry at, and scared of, the Trump-Musk-Bezos troika that they are ...

This means that the gene pool of a population is dynamic and can change at any moment for a variety of reasons. In addition, the rate of change within a gene pool can vary at different points in time.

As in the example of human diseases, genetically determined traits that would ordinarily be uncommon in the overall gene pool might crop up with distressing frequency in a small subset of that pool.

For decades, scientists have dreamed of bringing extinct animals back to life. That dream is now one step closer to reality.

They also noted that reduced migration of elephants is also affecting their gene pool. In the study -- “Divergence and serial ...
