Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

A 30-year-long study of a small population of marine snail shows how evolution can adapt to environmental changes quite rapidly. This study revealed how a specific ecotype of the snail changed its ...

Some colorful lizards and a mathematical formula from the finance sector have been used to build a new framework to model evolution. Developed by Dr. Simone Blomberg from The University of ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

A new genome-wide study uncovers evidence of the first three-way relationships between human genetic variation, variation in the fungal component of the human microbiome - known as the mycobiome - and ...

University of Vermont Professor Melissa Pespeni led a research team that explored how tiny sea creatures evolve. Her discovery provides hope that organisms in the ocean my be more resilient to the ...
