"The introduction of genetic modifications into future generations could have permanent and possibly harmful effects on the species," a group of prominent bioscience researchers write in Nature. They ...

A gene pool is the collective set of genes found across all organisms in a population. In this page, you will learn about variation within gene pools, as well as the ways in which this variation can ...

Before species go extinct, their populations often shrink and become isolated. Healthy populations tend to have a large gene pool with many genetic variants circulating. But the path to extinction ...

A good gene pool, like love, is where you find it. Now genomics researchers have two new ones to swoon over: one from Estonia, a crossroads of Scandinavian cultures and the northernmost of the former ...

TORONTO (Reuters) - Quebecers, many of them descended from a handful of families who arrived from France, could hold the key to medical breakthroughs as their tiny gene pool provides the perfect ...
