The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

Researchers from the Center for Paleogenetics have managed to analyze the genome from a 14,400-year-old woolly rhinoceros, ...

Lines of bacterial genome sequences are made to evolve independently by introducing high-activity insertion sequences, each simulating decades of evolution in the wild in just weeks. The genome ...

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

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 ...

The genome structure — how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism — is fundamental to the processes and functions of organisms. A team at the University of Tokyo has developed a ...

The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide. Viruses are known to use the ...

Human evolution’s biggest mystery, which emerged 15 years ago from a 60,000-year-old pinkie finger bone, finally started to unravel in 2025. Analysis of DNA extracted from the fossil electrified the ...

Research led by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) is shedding new light on how ovarian cancer evolves - insights that could help researchers develop more effective treatment strategies.
