In the recent study on pain, researchers investigated three variations in the SCN9A gene, and reported greater pain ...

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

A new study theorizes that evolution ticks at different speeds, especially when a big group of organisms first appears.

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single ...

How did horses become some of the greatest athletes in the animal kingdom? Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine may have found the answer, pinpointing a genetic mutation and evolutionary process that ...

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, ...

How is skeletal evolution studied? Morphological alterations that contribute to human skeletal structure have been extensively studied in paleoanthropology. Aside from standing height, it has been ...

A large-scale population genomic study has shed new light on the evolutionary and domestication history of the button ...

Life in the wild is never constant; animals adapt quickly if they are to survive. Climate change, the reduction of habitats, ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...
