Ferns, defined by large genomes, high chromosome counts, and pervasive aneuploidy as well as intraspecific polyploid complexity, diverge significantly from the classical genetic theories and ...

A 30-year-long study of a small population of marine snail shows how evolution can adapt to environmental changes quite rapidly. This study revealed how a specific ecotype of the snail changed its ...

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 ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely ...

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 ...

There are a variety of methods that have been established to curtail the spread of infectious disease, from isolation or donning of PPE to prevent human-to-human transmission, to culling infected ...
