Genetic researcher Nathan Clark spoke about research his team at the University of Pittsburgh conducted on evolutionary genetics. The seminars are hosted weekly by the University of Wisconsin Genetics ...

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

Graham Coop, a professor of evolution and ecology at UC Davis, was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for his work on human genetics and evolution. Katrina Huynh UC Davis A professor ...

To Shakespeare’s Hamlet we humans are “the paragon of animals”. But recent advances in genetics are suggesting that humans are far from being evolution’s greatest achievement. For example, humans have ...

Unlike the nuclear genome, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is small, circular, and maternally inherited. This simplifies lineage tracing and can guide inferences of evolutionary relationships as part ...

TL;DR: An artificial intelligence system, utilizing 500 million years of evolutionary data, has generated a novel genetic sequence that has not been observed before. Researchers have plugged 500 ...

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

New DNA Study Links Human's Low Pain Tolerance to Ancient Genetic Roots ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...

Thinking of gene loss as an evolution force is a counterintuitive idea, for it is easier to think that only when we gain something -genes in this case- can we evolve. However the new work by these ...
