Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...
An international research team led by Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU) and the Joint FAO/IAEA Center of Nuclear Techniques in Food and Agriculture has identified the gene responsible for a ...

Duke researchers find a surprising genetic source of lethal mutations in fruit flies, with possible implications for conservation and health Scientists have puzzled for decades over a basic ...
When cultivated tobacco is crossed with a wild relative it erases lethal genes, allowing normally fatal hybrids to survive. In the plant world, when two different species mate, their offspring often ...
In the plant world, when two different species mate, their offspring often don’t survive. The reason lies in their DNA: incompatible genes often mix in their offspring, triggering a fatal breakdown ...
