Scientists at The Wistar Institute have discovered how a key protein from the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), EBNA-LP, ...

For the first time, researchers have characterized the genome arrangement of tree ferns, which sheds new insight into how ferns evolved. Land plants evolved 470 million years ago from algae and ...

Land plants evolved 470 million years ago from algae and have since reshaped our world. Throughout their evolution, ferns have undergone a series of changes that have helped them survive on land.

A research team led by André Marques at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, has uncovered the profound effects of an atypical mode of chromosome arrangement ...

Join us as we travel back in time. We have arrived in the Devonian period, some 420 to 360 million years ago. In a shallow ...

With the flurry of media attention surrounding the race to sequence the genome, it often seems as if the myriad genome facts and news items floating around could fill up a couple of telephone ...

The joke about the Human Genome Project is how many times it’s been finished, but not actually. The first time was in 2000, when Bill Clinton announced the “first survey of the entire human ...

Marlétaz’s team extracted and sequenced the DNA they collected from the brittle stars and assembled the genome. To map how brittle stars have evolved since they diverged from other echinoderms about ...

Scientists have pieced together a new draft of the human genome that better captures humanity’s genetic diversity. The new “pangenome” incorporates the DNA of 47 individuals from every ...

The promise of genome editing to help understand human diseases and create new therapies is vast, but technological limitations have limited advancement of the field. While existing editing ...
