The study of experimental evolution in Escherichia coli has provided unprecedented insights into the mechanisms of adaptive mutations, elucidating how populations diverge and optimise their fitness ...
The genome sequences of millions of individual SARS-CoV-2 viruses have enabled researchers to study evolution in a way that wasn’t possible before. The coronavirus’s global proliferation means that we ...
A groundbreaking study published in this week’s issue of PNAS by scientists from Israel and Ghana shows that an evolutionarily significant mutation in the human APOL1 gene arises not randomly but more ...
(Memphis, Tenn.—July 28, 2023) The influenza (flu) virus is constantly undergoing a process of evolution and adaptation through acquiring new mutations. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research ...

Evolution just broke its own logic, a new biology rule may follow
Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it ...
In a recent study published in Nature Genetics, researchers performed an allelic-level single-cellular multi-omics evaluation of hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) obtained from individuals ...
The influenza (flu) virus is constantly undergoing a process of evolution and adaptation through acquiring new mutations. Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have added a new layer of ...
In 1943, a physicist and a biologist published a paper that confirmed one of the central pillars of Darwin's theory of evolution. The paper, by Max Delbrück of Vanderbilt University and Salvador Luria ...
It's not just the number of mutations that matters. It's the failure to fix them too. The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more ...
