Imagine a single genetic mutation, tucked deep within our DNA, forever changing the course of human history. Could a tiny ...

A genomic study of gut microbes during antibiotic use finds selective sweeps in a DNA gyrase gene that drive resistance.

Deep-sea fish adapt to some of the most extreme conditions on Earth. New research analyzing their evolution finds the same ...

A groundbreaking DNA study reveals how genetic mutations pass through generations, offering new insights into disease and ...

This important work presents a stochastic branching process model of tumour-immune coevolution, incorporating stochastic antigenic mutation accumulation and escape within the cancer cell population.

A team of researchers has used advanced DNA sequencing to develop the most comprehensive atlas yet of genetic change through ...

DNA contains genes that carry instructions for the manufacture of a protein. If a mutation occurs in a gene that results in a change to the sequence of DNA bases, then the structure of the protein ...

A new study analyzes the evolutionary history of 11 deep-sea species from environments stretching from the central Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean and found that all species contained the ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we ...

These tests revealed two mechanisms of 'evolvability,' by which the process of evolution can change over time. One is a shift ...

S cientists might have succeeded in sequencing the entire human genome, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t still learning new ...

We are interested in the potential for evolution of novel metabolic pathways patched together from multiple promiscuous ... This process is complicated by numerous factors, including the need to ...
