Long before DNA unraveled the double helix of life, scientists were already tinkering with its inheritance. The idea that traits could be passed from one generation to the next fascinated early ...
When most people think about natural selection, they imagine individuals competing with one another: The fastest animal escapes predators, the strongest plant produces more seeds, and the most ...
Geneticist and entrepreneur Adrian Woolfson argues that genome engineering and AI will let us design organisms beyond nature’s limits ...
New research challenges the one-level view of evolution, showing natural selection works on individuals and groups together.
In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...
New research suggests that natural selection, famous for rewarding advantageous differences in organisms, can also preserve similarities. The researchers worked with a plant called wild radish and its ...
Most of us know that as living things evolve, they take on traits that help them thrive in their home environments. But how are certain traits "chosen" for future generations, and how are others cast ...
MSU research suggests natural selection can slow evolution, maintain similarities across generations
New research from Michigan State University suggests that natural selection, famous for rewarding advantageous differences in organisms, can also preserve similarities. Reporting in the journals New ...
