Large differences in maximum longevity exist between different rodent species. Determination of the spontaneous and mutagen-induced mutation rates in these species by single (somatic) cell sequencing suggests more efficient ...

Sophisticated analyses of current human populations compared to a high-coverage Neandertal genome sequence indicate that, contrary to the previous consensus, African genomes carry a small but significant amount of ...

Recent progress in environment DNA analysis means that it is now possible to identify in detail all organisms in a given environment from air sampling. This opens up many scientific possibilities but also raises serious ...
