Long-term, UF/IFAS researchers want to develop the knowledge and tools the cattle industry needs to increase tolerance to heat stress

New study provides insight into the genes and molecules that shape taste cell development

Scientists have revealed that certain disease-causing bacteria get their resistance genes in a complex process involving bacterial 'sex'; this can potentially lead to a more targeted effort in preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance

The mere existence of genome editing technologies such as CRISPR is not what will advance science

Finding points to the inventive ways animals balance genetic material

Cattle go through genomic testing in developed countries worldwide

The markers, called single nucleotide polymorphisms, are individual locations in the genome that, in this case, allow researchers to distinguish between the different variants of sockeye salmon

Finding in mice could lead to new therapies for damaged organs and cancer

The map of dog breeds, which is the largest to date, unearths new evidence that dogs traveled with humans across the Bering land bridge

Influenza A viruses can cause devastating pandemics when they are transmitted to humans from pigs, birds, or other animal species
