The findings suggest that the acquisition of the modern NOVA1 variant may have protected us from the detrimental effects of ...

The sequential accumulation of mutations drives disease evolution from asymptomatic clonal hematopoiesis to frank MDS, and, ultimately, to secondary AML. This detailed understanding of the molecular ...

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 ...

A study published in Nature by researchers at IRB Barcelona and the University of Washington shows that smoking and ...

A peculiar study into malaria resistance in humans, and where and how it occurs in the population, has unexpectedly spurred a re-evaluation of the neo-Darwinist understanding of evolution.

Geneticists have sought to understand the impact of genetic mutations, and what drives and maintains changes in DNA. Researchers have now reconstructed the evolution of a set of genes, and the ...

A new report found only about 2.8% of people with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) have JAK2 mutations. A new report is shining a light on an uncommon—but potentially meaningful—characteristic of some ...

In the children’s game telephone, a whispered phrase like “I ate a pear” can quickly become “I hate bears” as it moves down a line of players. As genes are passed down from parents to offspring, they ...

A vaccine's ability to generate long-lasting, high-affinity antibodies hinges on a delicate balance. Upon exposure to a vaccine or pathogen, B cells scramble to refine their defenses, rapidly mutating ...

In a peculiar and intriguing turn of events, a gorilla named Anaka at Zoo Atlanta has become the focal point of a captivating discourse on primate anatomy. This remarkable gorilla has developed ...

・Michael Behe, a biochemistry professor, argues that the complexity of life cannot be fully explained by Darwinian evolution, proposing that such complexity indicates intelligent design instead. ・Behe ...
