Learn how the Amazon molly, an all-female fish that reproduces asexually, uses gene conversion to maintain healthy DNA and ...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is a globally significant fungal pathogen that affects a wide range of economically important crops. Its population structure is complex, owing to a combination of clonal ...

A two-decade study on serially cloned mice revealed that repeated cloning causes grave genetic mutations to accumulate, eventually leading to fatal consequences. The research challenges the notion of ...

As the generations dragged on past the 27th iteration, the birth rate began to silently collapse. By the 57th generation, a mere 0.6 percent of the cloned embryos survived. The 58th generation ...

Even back then, scientists were puzzled. Many prediction models suggested this fish shouldn’t survive beyond roughly 10,000 ...

TOKYO -- Sexual reproduction is essential for mammals to eliminate harmful genetic mutations that build up through cloning, a research team led by pro･･･ ...

Genetic diversity is essential to the survival of a species. It’s easy enough to maintain if a species reproduces sexually; an egg and a sperm combine genetic material from two creatures into one, ...
