Researchers from Oldenburg and Bremen investigated the effect of environmental factors on genetically different varieties of kale.

Genomic sequencing has pinpointed eight variants that are largely responsible for the differences in song sparrow size, providing insights into the species' capacity to adapt to climate change.

Researchers have found that previous studies analyzing the genomes of people with European ancestry may have reported inaccurate results by not fully accounting for population structure.

New calculations show European countries have great potential for reducing demand for global food resources and associated GHG footprint. Researchers have estimated the climate footprint savings that may be obtained from reducing food loss and waste.

AI analysis shows pollution levels, extreme weather events and increasing temperatures devastate biodiversity in freshwater lakes.

People who have a higher biological age than their actual chronological age have a significantly increased risk of stroke and dementia, especially vascular dementia.

Scientists have used gene editing techniques to identify and change parts of chicken DNA that could limit the spread of the bird flu virus in the animals.

An international team of researchers has discovered that formaldehyde, a widely spread pollutant and common metabolite in our body, interferes in the epigenetic programming of the cell.

Researchers at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden have uncovered the molecular logic underpinning the assembly of spinal circuits that control the speed of locomotion in adult zebrafish.

"MiniFlayer" is the first known instance of a satellite virus that does not possess a gene enabling it to access its host's DNA. To do this, it requires help from "MindFlayer", which it attaches to.
