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 ...

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

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

A potted scarlet monkeyflower would die within a few days without water. But multiple natural populations of the species ...

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, ...
