Unisexual reproduction lacks meiotic recombination, resulting in the accumulation of deleterious mutations and hindering the creation of genetic diversity. Thus, unisexual taxa are commonly considered ...

In a milestone in mammalian genetic engineering, a team of researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences succeeded in creating a viable bipaternal mouse from sperm provided by two male parents. The ...

A team of researchers led by Professor Joseph Heitman has discovered procreation between genetically identical fungi Cryptococcus neoformans can result in genetic changes and diversity in their ...

This breakthrough paves the way for new avenues in reproductive biology In a major scientific achievement, Chinese researchers have successfully created the world's first mice with two fathers to ...

Not all species need sperm to fertilize an egg for sexual reproduction. Some species need sperm in order to induce completion of egg nucleus development, but then never use the sperm's DNA. I describe ...

The Nature Index 2026 Research Leaders reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural sciences, health sciences, applied sciences and social sciences, according to their ...

Scientists in China have manipulated embryonic stem cells to create laboratory mice with two male parents that managed to live to adulthood - though with significant developmental abnormalities - in ...

Researchers have bred a new species of all-female lizard, mimicking a process that has happened naturally in the past but has never been directly observed. "It's recreating the events that lead to new ...
