A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...

In the recent study on pain, researchers investigated three variations in the SCN9A gene, and reported greater pain ...

A reduced genome in an island species raises evolutionary questions.

In tropical climates, lizards are everywhere. It can be a bit wild to see, and they come in all shapes and sizes. They seem a tad superfluous in such large varieties leaving one to wonder, what ...

A large-scale population genomic study has shed new light on the evolutionary and domestication history of the button ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

In five cases where vertebrates evolved monogamy, the same changes in gene expression occurred each time. In many non-monogamous species, females provide all or most of the offspring care. In ...
