The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

A reduced genome in an island species raises evolutionary questions.

Researchers are trying to understand why some wild species do better than others over time, as the environment changes.

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...

A groundbreaking genomic study has shed new light on the complex evolutionary history of mites and ticks, revealing how parasitism emerged and diversified over more than 100 million years.

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

The research analysed not just gene composition but also the physical order of genes on chromosomes, tracking their movements ...

In a study published in Developmental Cell, a team led by Prof. Robert K. Naumann from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and researchers from BGI ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution ...

Researchers find Apennine brown bears evolved into a smaller, less aggressive animal after centuries of coexistence with humans.
