A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees.

Human evolution is far from a relic of the past, as a new study in Behavior Genetics demonstrates. By analyzing data from ...

Postdoctoral scholar Daniela Soto has earned a prestigious fellowship from HHMI with eight years of funding to study the ...

MSU scientists studied microbes in Yellowstone hot springs to understand how life adapted to increasing oxygen levels.

The expansion of family members probably originated from the duplication of a common ancestral gene and was widely dispersed through chromosomal translocations (6). However, the origin and evolution ...

Scientists have long believed they understood how life’s genetic code evolved, but new research upends that assumption. By ...

Through genome analysis, the scientists uncovered surprising insights into yerba mate’s evolutionary history – particularly ...

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

An international research team has discovered various mechanisms in asexual mites that generate genetic diversity and thus ensure survival.

In our study, we present candidate genes to investigate for adaptive evolution in urban coyotes." The candidate gene approach involves researchers identifying particular genes of interest to ...
