A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...

A new study theorizes that evolution ticks at different speeds, especially when a big group of organisms first appears.

In the recent study on pain, researchers investigated three variations in the SCN9A gene, and reported greater pain ...

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, ...

How is skeletal evolution studied? Morphological alterations that contribute to human skeletal structure have been extensively studied in paleoanthropology. Aside from standing height, it has been ...

An international team of researchers has uncovered a remarkable genetic phenomenon in lycophytes, which are similar to ferns and among the oldest land plants. Their study reveals that these plants ...

A large-scale population genomic study has shed new light on the evolutionary and domestication history of the button ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single ...

How did horses become some of the greatest athletes in the animal kingdom? Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine may have found the answer, pinpointing a genetic mutation and evolutionary process that ...

Human evolution may no longer be driven primarily by genetics, according to a new theory by researchers at the University of Maine which claims that cultural systems are now shaping the way humans ...
