Research from UChicago dissects how a single genetic switch helps butterflies mimic wing patterns of other species to protect ...

UC Davis graduate student Jeffrey Groh has discovered how walnut trees are able to produce flowers of different sexes at different times in the same season. The genetic mechanism is similar to sex ...

The field of exercise genetics has rapidly evolved to elucidate how genetic variants influence athletic performance and muscle response. Extensive research has associated specific polymorphisms—most ...

UC Davis scientists discovered how walnut trees switch between male and female flowering, a trait that’s been stable for 40 million years. The trees’ “sex timing” depends on two ancient gene variants ...
