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 ...

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 ...

Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

University of Vermont Professor Melissa Pespeni led a research team that explored how tiny sea creatures evolve. Her discovery provides hope that organisms in the ocean my be more resilient to the ...

Quotient's Somatic Genomics platform reveals new approaches to treat disease based on the vast genetic variation present in the body's trillions of cells Company emerges from stealth after two years ...

Scientists have generated a new catalog of human gene expression data from around the world to address how most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries -- ...
