A deeper investigation of the European green crab genetic makeup is still needed to understand how the species could continue to spread.

Researchers developed an algorithm that maps human genetic diversity and ancestry to better understand population history.

The map uncovers more about the mechanisms of drug resistance, highlights DNA changes that may be potential treatment biomarkers, and identifies promising combination or second-line therapies.
