For more than half a century, many biologists have leaned on the neutral theory of molecular evolution to explain how DNA and proteins change over time. The idea grew from early work in the 1960s, ...
Studying the genome of thale cress, a small flowering weed, led to a new understanding about DNA mutations. (Pádraic Flood) A simple roadside weed may hold the key to understanding and predicting DNA ...
They were hardly modest, these two brash young scientists who in 1953 declared to patrons of the Eagle Pub in Cambridge, England, that they had "found the secret of life." But James Watson and Francis ...
From anatomy to genes, here are some stories of how you got to be the way you are. Humans are special, and we got that way thanks to evolution and natural selection. The proof is right there in our ...
In southern Africa, a group of people lived in partial isolation for hundreds of thousands of years. This is shown in a new study based on analyses of the genomes of 28 people who lived between 10,200 ...
Researchers have found that DNA mutations are not random. This changes our understanding of evolution and could one day help researchers breed better crops or even help humans fight cancer. A simple ...
A simple roadside weed may hold the key to understanding and predicting DNA mutation, according to new research from University of California, Davis, and the Max Planck Institute for Developmental ...
