Scientists have discovered a sexual reproduction process in microalgae that helps them better understand algae and plant evolution. Their discovery could lead to new industrial applications for ...

A CRISPR-based tool can perform sex reversal on male mouse embryos, reliably turning them into healthy females – a feat that ...

The patches of lichen you've probably seen growing on tree trunks and park benches might be easy to overlook, but they're actually some of the world's strangest living things. While they're sometimes ...

Recombination and sexual reproduction lie at the heart of evolutionary innovation, reshuffling alleles to generate genetic diversity and enabling populations to adapt to shifting environments. Meiotic ...

New findings suggest an explanation for the century-old mystery of how chromosome recombination is regulated during sexual reproduction. In most higher organisms, including humans, every cell carries ...
