Darwin's other mistake / Michael R. Rose and Theodore Garland Jr. -- The importance of experimental studies in evolutionary biology / Douglas J. Futuyma and Albert F. Bennett -- Modeling experimental ...

Through a new review paper published in Nature, Georgia Tech scientists are revealing how decades-long research programs have transformed our understanding of evolution, uncovering secrets that would ...

Evolved macroscopic "snowflake" yeast from the MuLTEE experiment. The large size of the nuclei (yellow) and cells (cyan) are results of whole-genome duplication and aneuploidy. Sometimes, the most ...

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

Image showing predation of fluorescently labeled Serratia marcescens KZ19 by Tetrahymena thermophila Surprisingly, a large number of mutations occurred at the same site or in the same gene across ...

How do cells know what they should become as the body develops? Biological development depends crucially on spatial patterns: the lines that eventually give rise to segments, organs, or markings like ...

A stunning new fossil find from the Grand Canyon fills in some blanks from a time when evolution began experimenting with weird new forms. About half a billion years ago, life on Earth really started ...

SMBE Journals (Molecular Biology and Evolution and Genome Biology and Evolution)Aug 22 2024 Surprisingly, a large number of mutations occurred at the same site or in the same gene across multiple ...

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab. Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by ...
