The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism by which bacteria share their genetic material through virus parasites. The insights could help scientists to better understand how bacteria ...

Monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine play important roles in our cognitive and emotional functions. Their evolutionary origins date back to metazoans, and while the function of ...

An international team of researchers has released a landmark study on contemporary evolutionary change in natural populations. Their study uses one of the largest genomic datasets ever produced for ...

Ironically, one great unsolved problem in Darwin's master work, On the Origin of Species, was just that: How and why do species originate? Darwin and his later followers were faced with a seeming ...

In the mid-19th century, Charles Darwin unveiled a revolutionary idea. Darwin’s On the Origin of Species crashed through the ...

For the very first time, a study led by Julian Chen and his group in Arizona State University's School of Molecular Sciences and the Biodesign Institute's Center for the Mechanism of Evolution, has ...

Bar-Ilan University research shows even jellyfish and sea anemones repair DNA during repose, underscoring the fact that a ...

National University of Singapore (NUS) researchers have developed an electron transfer mechanism that involves a switchable metal and oxygen redox chemistry in nickel-oxyhydroxide-based materials, ...
