Mosquitoes have plagued humans for centuries, transmitting deadly diseases. To combat this, we now have access to the whole genome sequences of multiple mosquito species, allowing us to genetically manipulate them. Gene-drive technology is one such approach, which has been used in outdoor trials in India, Brazil, and Panama, showing…

The genetic mapping of almost the entire kākāpō population has shed new light on specific traits that will help conservation biologists in their efforts to save the critically endangered flightless night parrots.

Scientists have known of somatic variants and their role in diseases for many years now, but there has been an explosion in the amount of data and knowledge only recently.
