Understanding the material basis of adaptive evolution has been a central goal in biology dating back to at least the time of ...

The recombination between parental chromosomes, a characteristic of sexual reproduction, plays a crucial role in evolution.

Mutations fuel evolution while also causing diseases like cancer. Epigenome-targeted DNA repair can help organisms protect important genomic regions from mutation. However, the adaptive value, ...

Comprehensive reference genomes have now been assembled for six ape species: siamang (a Southeast Asian gibbon), Sumatran ...

Red roses, the symbol of love, were likely yellow in the past, indicates a large genomic analysis by researchers from Beijing ...

UC Santa Cruz scientists worked with Colossal Biosciences to help reveal secrets in the dire wolf genome that contributed to ...

INRS researchers have identified a new family of enzymes called Ssn, which can specifically cut single-stranded DNA. This ...

Chitons overcome evolutionary constraints through unprecedented genomic dynamism, with extensive chromosomal rearrangements and duplications despite about 300 million years of morphological stasis.

For the first time, Professor Veyrier and his team at INRS have discovered a family of enzymes that can cut specific sequences in single-stranded DNA. These enzymes, called site-specific ...

You are more viral than you think. About 8% of your DNA—far more than is used to build proteins—is made of ancient viruses.

The interactions between transcription factors guided by DNA ... genomic technologies at scale to advance understanding of biology and improve health. Making discoveries not easily made elsewhere, our ...

GeneDx, a Stamford-based genomic testing firm formerly known as Sema4, has agreed to acquire California-based genomics ...
