TOKYO -- Sexual reproduction is essential for mammals to eliminate harmful genetic mutations that build up through cloning, a research team led by pro･･･ ...

Genetic diversity is essential to the survival of a species. It's easy enough to maintain if a species reproduces sexually; an egg and a sperm combine genetic material from two creatures into one, ...

As the generations dragged on past the 27th iteration, the birth rate began to silently collapse. By the 57th generation, a mere 0.6 percent of the cloned embryos survived. The 58th generation ...

A two-decade study on serially cloned mice revealed that repeated cloning causes grave genetic mutations to accumulate, eventually leading to fatal consequences. The research challenges the notion of ...

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. A ...
