Genetics plays a crucial role in reproductive medicine, impacting both fertility and the health of offspring. According to experts, genetic factors influence a couple's ability to conceive, the ...

Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen have constructed a complete map of how human DNA is mixed as it is passed down during reproduction. The map marks a major step in the understanding of genetic ...

Animal reproduction and breeding encompasses the full spectrum of natural, assisted and genetic processes that underpin the perpetuation, ... endocrinology, genetics and management practices.

A study based on a review of genetic and health information from more than 276,000 people finds strong support for a decades-old evolutionary theory that sought to explain aging and senescence.

Human reproduction is notoriously inefficient. Whereas the fertilized eggs of other animals, such as mice, usually progress to more complex embryo stages, fertilized human eggs often falter early on.

It is generally believed that sexual reproduction leads to fewer harmful genetic mutations than asexual reproduction. In their new study, Maldonado and his co-authors tested this theory by ...
