Evolution is tinkering. Even at the gene level, you see that the Pax-6 gene belongs to the Pax gene family, and when you look at this gene family you can see that there are nine Pax genes known in ...

Our findings support these ideas by demonstrating that SSD influences gene family evolution, shaping molecular pathways critical for sexual and cognitive development. Sexual selection does not act ...

In the temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere, a quiet but powerful story has been unfolding for nearly 60 million ...

Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected? The problem may not be you. It may be the world you’re living in. Here's why ...

A new comparison and analysis of the genomes of species in the genus Malus, which includes the domesticated apple and its ...

Is Alzheimer's in your family ... we humans can influence what genes and traits are passed on to future generations -- and thereby impact the course of our evolution. Will our power to manipulate ...

Third, a weaponized gene drive could be countered with another drive to overwrite any dangerous genetic material. We all know that evolution does really interesting things. So, if you put a selective ...

“Hox genes seem to have a lot of constraint across evolution,” said Srivastava. “Now here's an animal that has played with that constraint. So, studying something that deviates from the rules can ...

Scientists who study a family of green algae that ... one might have been important for the evolution of multicellularity. That is, certain "special" genes for multicellularity might be found ...
