Following the surprising discovery that our genetic blueprint is much simpler than expected, we’ve rapidly learned that we ...

De novo gene evolution describes the process by which entirely new genes originate from previously non-coding DNA rather than from the duplication and divergence of existing genetic material. This ...

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

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. ­­ ­ ­­— Saliva is a bodily fluid most of us take for granted despite the significant roles it plays: aiding in digestion, maintaining strong teeth and defending against oral disease.

When cells divide and chromosomes are replicated for the daughter cells in a select type of cell called the germline, which is happening constantly in living things, sometimes things don’t go ...
