A study has traced thousands of conserved regulatory elements back 300 million years, revealing deep principles of plant ...

This call for articles and short reports is to enhance our understanding of the function and evolution of short genomic ...

A new study shows cultural evolution helped humans expand across Earth far faster than genetic change alone could achieve.

When the worst drought on record struck parts of the US West Coast and Mexico, many plants didn’t make it. But against the ...

From epic poetry to game shows, from Stone Age axes to spaceflight, humans have the most complex cultures of any species on Earth. Since the time of Darwin, scientists have suspected that this culture ...

More than 2.3 million ancient genetic switches discovered in plants reveal how key growth controls endured 300 million years ...

Humans really do rule the world. We took over fast and far, more than any other wild vertebrates. We inhabit nearly every ...

The study outlines a new scenario for understanding how genome regulation and chromatin organization influence the evolution of animal body plans. The conservation of genome regulatory elements over ...

Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time ...

MPN-BP transformation is driven by sequential mutations disrupting genomic stability, with TP53 mutations being strong predictors of progression. TP53 mutations confer a selective growth advantage, ...
