Evolution works over millennia. Climate change is moving far faster. That mismatch is killing some of the planet’s most vital ...

Genomic analysis reveals squid and cuttlefish evolved in deep oceans, survived mass extinction in refuges, and later rapidly diversified, following a “long fuse” evolutionary pattern.

The idea that modern humans inherited DNA from Neanderthal ancestors is one of the 21st century’s most celebrated discoveries ...

The study outlines a new scenario for understanding how genome regulation and chromatin organization influence the evolution of animal body plans. The conservation of genome regulatory elements over ...

MPN-BP transformation is driven by sequential mutations disrupting genomic stability, with TP53 mutations being strong predictors of progression. TP53 mutations confer a selective growth advantage, ...

A new study reveals how squid and cuttlefish began in the deep sea and survived Earth’s biggest extinction to thrive ...

A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, finds that changes in animal development induced by climate shock persist ...

From epic poetry to game shows, from Stone Age axes to spaceflight, humans have the most complex cultures of any species on Earth. Since the time of Darwin, scientists have suspected that this culture ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

Explore the decades-long journey to map the full human genome, from early breakthroughs to the first complete, gapless DNA ...
