Led by researchers from the University of Oxford's Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science and the University of Iceland, the review explores how genetic variations can explain differences in ...

Human reproduction is influenced by a complex interplay of biology, genetics, and socioeconomic factors. Over the past few decades, substantial changes have occurred in reproductive trends across high ...

Couples who were found to be genetic carriers for autosomal recessive or X-linked genetic conditions often opted to change their reproductive strategy, a large Australian population-based study found.

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Genetic engineering is moving from the lab bench into clinics, farms, and even family planning decisions, promising to change how we prevent disease, age, and define human potential. The same tools ...

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, ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Imagine suddenly losing your ability to smell certain foods; no longer sensing the aroma of fresh bread or ripe fruit. This ...

For the first time, scientists have created fertilizable human eggs from skin cells—an advance that the researchers say could pave the way for new infertility treatments, though the technology remains ...

A sprawling international fertility scandal is forcing regulators and doctors across Europe to rethink donor screening after ...

When roundworms stop reproducing, they can still move and function normally but lose their ability to detect certain food ...
