New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Spatial genetic structure and gene flow together determine the distribution of genetic diversity within and among plant populations. Spatial genetic structure arises when limited seed and pollen ...

A novel genetic disorder has been discovered that could provide many new insights into how aging occurs. Researchers have ...
