Rerunning tumour evolution in mice shows how cancer develops after DNA damage and reveals that background genetics and acquired mutations interact to shape genome stability and selection. This ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

Nearly every cell in the human body contains essentially the same genetic information, yet different cells activate different ...

Some colorful lizards and a mathematical formula from the finance sector have been used to build a new framework to model evolution. Developed by Dr. Simone Blomberg from The University of ...

Think of evolution, and you might think of Darwin’s finches and natural selection. But according to researchers writing in the journal BioScience, it is not our genes that are determining our current ...

MILAN — Is chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) progression primarily driven by genetic mutations or by external cues from the tumor microenvironment? Despite major strides in targeted therapies, CLL ...

A just-published article in the journal Nature—“Ancient DNA reveals pervasive directional selection across West Eurasia,” (Akbari et al, 15 April 2026)—describes how the development of agriculture in ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

As an evolutionary geneticist, Noor has made several key discoveries using Drosophila, but his science communication work, via books and sci-fi cruises, is just as interesting. Fourteen years later, ...
