Artificial intelligence allows tracing the evolution of genetic control elements in the developing mammalian cerebellum.

Scientists have uncovered a 400-million-year-old genetic secret that gave spiders the ability to produce silk and weave their ...

An ancient ancestor of spiders and relatives doubled its genome about 400 million years ago, setting the stage for the ...

Olfactory receptor (OR) genes, representing the largest multigene family in mammalian genomes, have undergone extensive evolutionary modifications characterised by dynamic patterns of gene duplication ...

De novo gene evolution describes the process by which entirely new genes originate from previously non-coding DNA rather than from the duplication and divergence of existing genetic material. This ...

Findings suggest that new genes can form by repurposing fragments of ancestral genes while incorporating entirely new coding regions (the protein-coding parts of the DNA). This innovative concept ...

From epic poetry to game shows, from Stone Age axes to spaceflight, humans have the most complex cultures of any species on Earth. Since the time of Darwin, scientists have suspected that this culture ...

“This DNA repair and replication activity supports a fascinating mechanism called premeiotic endoreplication, a process through which the snake duplicates its chromosomes before dividing them, ...

The dissolution of protein coding genes in molecular biology / T. Fogle -- The differential concept of the gene: past and present / S. Schwartz -- Gene concepts and genetic concepts / F. Gifford -- ...

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...
