Why evolutionary genetics does not always add up / Edmund D. Brodie III -- Beyond the average : the evolutionary importance of gene interactions and variability of epistatic effects / Patrick C.

The molecular clock theory posits that genetic changes happen steadily and gradually, offering a reliable means for peering into the past and theorizing when complex life first emerged. However, there ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have a unique resource in the form of the Center for Biomolecular Condensates at the McKelvey School of Engineering, which draws scientists from ...

In a new UCLA-led study, investigators shed light on the intricate processes underlying cancer evolution and define the optimal algorithms to analyze the genetic makeup of tumors. Understanding the ...

Protein evolution plays a key role in many biological processes that are essential for life – but what does it have to do with physics? Schematic overview of procedure used to generate simulated ...

When you learned about the history of human evolution in school, there's a good chance you were shown one all-too-familiar image. That picture probably showed a conga line of human-like creatures, ...

As in a batch of kombucha or a barrel of sherry, microbes can assemble into a mat-like layer at the boundary between air and liquid. In laboratory culture, the bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens SBW25 ...
