The only remaining autonomous 'jumping gene' can only attach to, and stitch a copy of itself into, DNA when it builds up into large clusters and only as cells divide.

Trained on data covering 1.5 billion years of evolution, CZI’s new generative AI model probes cellular biology across species ...

A genomic study of gut microbes during antibiotic use finds selective sweeps in a DNA gyrase gene that drive resistance.

It's accelerating so rapidly that the question isn't whether we should attempt to hasten human evolution—it's whether we must in order to survive. Change Is Outpacing Us In a single generation ...

To address this, the researchers created a reference atlas of human hematopoiesis using single-cell RNA sequencing data from 263,519 cells enriched for hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. The ...

For example, human bodies are made up of tens of trillions of cells. These cells differentiate ... and together they make up a single living body. The evolution of multicellularity is one of ...
