Genes aren't just transferred from parents to their offspring. Nature has found other ways to pass on genetic information, even between different species. And a new study, published in the journal ...

New findings, published in Nature, help answer the riddle of how vertebrates evolved the diverse array of brain cells that ...

The E. affinis complex currently serves as a valuable model system for investigating evolutionary adaptation during habitat transitions, both during biological invasions and in response to climate ...

Super-pangenomes expand species-level pan-genomes to genus-wide frameworks, which integrate cultivated and wild genomes to capture hidden diversity. Super-pangenomes reduce reference bias, discover ...

Researchers at Trinity have found that a largely overlooked form of cancer evolution, which drives aggressive disease and ...

New research is shaking up our understanding of evolution by revealing that some species may not evolve gradually at all. Instead, scientists discovered that certain marine worms experienced an ...

The sequencing of the genomes of a spider from the mainland (Dysdera catalonica, left) and one from the Canary Islands (Dysdera tilosensis, right) opens a new perspective for understanding how genome ...

An international research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) has developed HERRO, an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that could make it easier and more cost-effective ...

Sloths are the slowest mammals on the planet, and living in dense jungles has made them difficult to study. For the first ...
