Feb. 6, 2025 — A study has identified key genetic pathways in corn that help its roots branch out to find water in soil; the varieties adapted to temperate regions like the U.S. corn belt showed ...

About 5% of people who catch COVID have long-lasting symptoms. In these people, loss of smell, dizziness, fatigue and other hallmark COVID symptoms can persist for months after the initial illness.

Cephalopods may have the oldest sex chromosomes of any animal, according to a new discovery in the octopus genome. That's a big deal given that scientists didn't know until now if these oddball ...

Research suggests aligning meal timing with the body's natural clock can improve metabolism, sleep, and energy.

Allopolyploids are common in natural ecosystems (Grant, 1981). They arise as a result of distant hybridization (and chromosome doubling) between related species containing different sets of related, ...
