A groundbreaking study by the Roslin Institute explores how whole genome duplication shaped the complexity and evolution of ...

There's a good chance you've heard of Neanderthals when it comes to ancient human species, but they aren't the only ones who have appeared in the fossil record.

A new study has outlined the first genomic evidence of early migration from New Guinea into the Wallacea, an archipelago containing Timor-Leste and hundreds of inhabited eastern Indonesian islands.

But James Watson and Francis Crick's claim was a valid one, for they had in fact discovered the structure of DNA, the chemical that encodes instructions for building and replicating almost all ...

Liver cells attempt to shut down as a defense mechanism against cancer, but this strategy is not particularly effective.

Is it just noise, a side effect of evolution, or does it have functions? A research team at NYU Langone Health sought to ...

Researchers have made breakthrough discoveries about human migration patterns across Europe during the first millennium AD.

A joint research group team led by Sayuri Tsukahara and Tetsuji Kakutani of the University of Tokyo has clarified a mechanism ...

The extraction of genetic material from archaeological remains, known as ancient DNA, is helping scientists gain insights into our distant past. With advances in sequencing technology, these ...

This shows that the DNA extrusion and twisting mechanisms stayed the same for very long times during evolution. No matter whether DNA is looped in humans, yeast, or any other cell -- nature ...
