WASHINGTON — Two-thirds of animal and plant populations are declining in genetic diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday.

urging the environmental group to stop blocking genetically modified foods like golden rice from reaching those who need it. But really, the letter (and the press conference scheduled for Thursday ...

to pay into a fund as a sort of fee for the use of biodiversity. Scientific advances have made it easier and cheaper for researchers to sequence genetic material. That means there are now vast ...

In this study, the researchers sequenced 145 rice genomes—including 129 wild accessions and 16 cultivated varieties—selected for their geographic and genetic diversity. Primarily using ...

Yet these species’ genomes could start helping researchers assess genetic diversity and identify at-risk populations in the wild right away. And the frozen samples they store may someday be used ...
