Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

For millennia, evolution has intrigued many great thinkers, prompting questions about how new traits emerge as species adapt over time. Then, attention shifted to natural selection and the inheritance ...

Findings suggest that new genes can form by repurposing fragments of ancestral genes while incorporating entirely new coding regions (the protein-coding parts of the DNA). This innovative concept ...

The evolution of new genes is not the only way for a species to change. The loss of genes may also lead to adaptations that help species survive, but this idea has not been well studied. Now, ...

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

Researchers analyzed blood samples from polar bears located in northeastern and southeastern Greenland. The results showed ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

When cells divide and chromosomes are replicated for the daughter cells in a select type of cell called the germline, which is happening constantly in living things, sometimes things don’t go ...

The results revealed a clear sequence. Enzymes predating cannabis showed no ability to process CBGA. The first enzyme unique ...
