Researchers have identified two pivotal genetic shifts in human evolution that reshaped the pelvis, facilitating bipedal ...

But the new study also suggests that the ilium underwent a second major change millions of years later, when humans evolved ...

New research is shaking up how we think about evolution, suggesting there's a level of predictability influenced by genes and ...

For decades, large stretches of human DNA were dismissed as "junk" and considered to serve no real purpose. In a new study ...

Directed evolution is usually a laborious process that often takes weeks in which proteins rapidly evolve and develop ...

Natural ecosystems are intricate webs where species can interact directly, like predators and prey, or influence one another ...

The thylacine, also known as the Tasmanian tiger or Tasmanian wolf, roamed the Australian mainland, Tasmania and New Guinea ...

Computational research in fruit flies revealed how spontaneously arising genes are tightly controlled, offering insights into ...

By analyzing gene function across biological pathways, the researchers found that evolution tends to act more quickly on genes involved in flexible, responsive tasks—such as carbon metabolism ...

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that ...
