Insertion-deletion markers (InDels) have rapidly emerged as a robust alternative to conventional short tandem repeats in both forensic science and population genetics. Owing to their biallelic nature, ...

A new study reveals that habitat fragmentation can lead to sudden "tipping points" where a species' genetic health ...

Population genetics explores the distribution and change in frequency of alleles within and between populations, while genetic diversity underpins the capacity of species to adapt to environmental ...

If you follow media coverage of koalas, you could be forgiven for feeling confused. Recent stories describe a “koala paradox”: endangered in the north of Australia, abundant in the south; genetically ...

Scientists have discovered a potential path out of devastating genetic bottlenecks that could help these Australian animals, ...

Koalas suffered a massive population decline that left them with dangerously low genetic diversity. However, new genomic research suggests their rapid rebound may be helping reverse some of that ...

As koalas in southern Australia have grown from a few hundred to almost half a million, the marsupials show signs of regaining lost genetic variation.

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

Much of the controversy about the forensic use of DNA has involved population genetics. In this chapter, we first explain the principles that are generally applicable. We then consider the special ...

Guwahati, Feb 21: Wildlife Genetics Laboratory (WGL) of Aaranyak, a Govt. of Assam Notified Laboratory for wildlife genetics & forensics under Section 329 (4) of the BNSS, 2023, is organising an 8- ...
