Researchers have found statistically significant links between a gene tied to schizophrenia risk and poorer cognitive performance in a large population sample, adding new evidence that genetic ...

A landmark finding that suggests koala genetic diversity not the only deciding factor in successful regrowth of populations.

Koalas’ population comeback may be doing more than boosting numbers—it could also be rebuilding their lost genetic diversity.

Cute but cantankerous, koalas are making a surprising recovery from a genetic bottleneck, with their once most threatened populations now displaying surprising diversity. “It still looks like they’re ...

If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a “koala paradox” ...

In a recent study published in the journal JAMA Cardiology, a group of researchers identified rare predicted loss-of-function variants associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) and elucidated their ...

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.
