The first study to compare the accumulation of mutations across many animal species has shed new light on decades-old questions about the role of these genetic changes in aging and cancer. Researchers ...

The unusual multitude of mutations on the omicron variant’s spike protein could suggest some level of animal transmission, scientists suggest, as the coronavirus has been found to spread to dogs, cats ...

The Omicron variant has a strange set of mutations. It doesn't resemble Delta, the dominant strain. That has led scientists to wonder about its origin — namely, whether it came from humans or animals.

Genetic mutations that cause mammals -- including humans -- to develop super ripped muscles, are now resulting in exceedingly buff fish, according to a paper in the latest issue of Animal Genetics.

AMES, Iowa – Animal science researchers at Iowa State University have identified a pair of genetic mutations that cause immune deficiencies in pigs that make them uniquely good models for testing ...

Wild animals have free range around northern Ukraine’s Chernobyl nuclear plant, the site of the world’s worst nuclear accident, which spread radiation throughout the region in 1986. Studies have ...

Genetic editing is an invaluable tool in biomedical research. Scientists have been able to engineer the genomes of a variety of animals, including fruit flies, zebrafish, and mice, to model diseases ...

While fishing in Fisch, you may have noticed that some of your catches have a different appearance and cost a little more than usual. All this is due to a special feature that imposes mutations on ...
