A new "coronavirus family tree" has given researchers a better look at how COVID-19 came into Denmark and how it spread domestically.

Sequencing the gardenia genome shows how plants evolved to re-use tricks from their genetic toolbox to create new chemicals.

A new model could help prevent unintended consequences when researchers use genetic modification on trees for things like biofuel.

Weedy rice is the result with cultivars of the crop go rogue. New research traces their origins to the "Green Revolution."

"We determined that SARS-CoV-2 originated through natural processes by comparing the genetic sequences and protein structures of other coronaviruses to those of new virus..."

The genome of the hornwort, one of the first plants to colonize land, may offer a way to grow crops more efficiently with less synthetic fertilizer.

A new "atlas" of whole cancer genomes reveals connections among cancers. The work, from more than 700 scientists, could lead to better treatment.

Researchers have assembled the complete genome of two varieties of basmati rice, one of which is drought-tolerant and resistant to bacterial disease.

The axolotl salamander can regrow lost limbs and parts of its brain or heart. Figuring out its huge genome may pave the way for human tissue regeneration.

Quinoa's history has led to varieties that need specific growing conditions. Research on the plant's flowering genes could make things easier for farmers.
