Newswise – In vast oceans, one would assume that their inhabitants can travel very far and therefore populations of a species would mix freely. But that doesn’t seem to be the case for a vital forage fish called the sandeel. Sandeel is a small school of fish incredibly high in lipids, making it a fantastic …

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth recently had a genetic test which flagged him as being at higher risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. We spoke to Sir Peter Donnelly, Founder and CEO of Genomics PLC and Professor of Statistical Sciences at the University of Oxford, about what genetic testing can tell us about our health – and …
Is your manure management a cost or a source of revenue? December 7, 2022 3 minute read In recent decades, the environmental impact of animal production and manure management has been controlled by stricter regulations for manure storage and spreading. Nevertheless, the intensification of animal production has led to even larger herds on industrial-scale farms …

Sandeel, a vital forage fish, could face new challenges as the oceans warm. Researchers have discovered two genetically distinct populations of northern sand eel that could help inform conservation and management decisions. These sand eels were caught off Greenland.

The sex of human babies and other mammals is determined by a male-determining gene on the Y chromosome. But the human Y chromosome degenerates and could die out in a few million years, leading to our extinction unless we develop a new sex gene. . The good news is that two rodent branches have already …
