Older trees accrue more mutations than their younger ones: Study
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Older, long-lived trees are thought to contribute more to the creation and maintenance of genetic diversity than young, short-lived trees, according to research on the relationship between the growth rate of tropical trees and the frequency of genetic mutations they accumulate.

Study: Blending pairing of alleles has moulded human ancestry
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Complex patterns of migration, isolation, and admixture--a phrase used to describe the exchange of genes between members of various populations--have characterised human history. As a result of the mixing of genetic lineages during admixture, populations' genetic diversity increases. Ancient

Study reveals several genes, individual genetic variations are associated
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Researchers report the identification of numerous genes and specific genetic variations that are linked to atrial fibrillation in the largest genetic study of heart arrhythmia to date. Polygenic risk scores were generated using genetic data based on the analysis of data from over a million i
