The last Neanderthals were far more diverse than we thought, hinting inbreeding didn’t doom them
Ancient DNA extracted from 27 late Neanderthal remains across Belgium’s Meuse Basin and two French sites reveals that the ...

Why did Neanderthals go extinct? Inbreeding probably wasn't to blame for their demise in northwestern Europe, a study suggests
Scientists have long puzzled over the disappearance of the Neanderthals, which went extinct roughly 40,000 years ago. A lack ...
Inbreeding depression arises when mating between close relatives increases homozygosity, exposing deleterious recessive alleles and reducing individual fitness. In natural populations, the interplay ...

A rescue effort can take many forms — a life raft, a firehose, an airlift. For animals whose populations are in decline from inbreeding, genetics itself can be a lifesaver. Genomic research led by the ...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The most extensive genetic analysis of mountain gorillas ever conducted has found the critically endangered apes burdened with severe inbreeding and at risk of extinction but ...
A red fox rests near Lassen Peak in this 2022 trail camera photo. Inbreeding is impacting Lassen's red foxes, which were abundant in the region before the 1900s, found a UC Davis study. (California ...
At Deluisio Angus near Leechburg, PA, a reasoning model plans matings while deterministic engines compute every EPD, dollar value and inbreeding coefficient. Artificial intelligence picks the sire, ...
This study was reported by Qifa Zhang and Yidan Ouyang’ group from the National Key Laboratory of Crop Genetic Improvement, Huazhong Agricultural University, Wuhan, China. Inbreeding depression is ...
