From Mendel to molecules : a brief history of evolutionary genetics / Michael R. Dietrich -- Genetic variation / Marta L. Wayne and Michael M. Miyamota. Maternal effects / Timothy A. Mousseau -- ...

Researchers at the University of Bristol have traced the genetic changes that allowed animals to colonize land not once but ...

A new paper in Genome Biology and Evolution, indicates that while the COVID-19 virus has developed rapidly since 2019, it has done so within limited genetic channels. These genetic limits have ...

New study shows that plants evolve in under five years, but extreme heat still pushes many populations toward extinction.

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 ...

An international team of researchers planted the same genetic lines of Arabidopsis thaliana in outdoor gardens stretching ...

How did horses become some of the greatest athletes in the animal kingdom? Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine may have found the answer, pinpointing a genetic mutation and evolutionary process that ...

Unlike the nuclear genome, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is small, circular, and maternally inherited. This simplifies lineage tracing and can guide inferences of evolutionary relationships as part ...

Human evolution may no longer be driven primarily by genetics, according to a new theory by researchers at the University of Maine which claims that cultural systems are now shaping the way humans ...
