The Mexican tetra and other cave‐dwelling teleosts have emerged as models to investigate the genetic basis of adaptation to perpetual darkness and resource limitation. Comparative genomic and ...

Scientists have grown microscopic algae aboard the International Space Station to investigate how spaceflight affects their ...

While a colleague traveled along the East Coast from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico collecting oysters, Northeastern University bioinformatics graduate student Megha Prasad worked away at her computer.

For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers at the Arc Institute describe the development and advantages of “Evo 2”. Evo 2 is a novel biological foundation model trained on a ...

The results of newly reported preclinical research indicate that a genetic mutation that helps animals including yaks and Tibetan antelopes survive at high altitudes may hold the key to repairing ...

Some of your most important life partners are the mitochondria that power all your cells. You and these little cellular powerhouses are in a 1.5-billion-year-old evolutionary relationship—but ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular "letters" that make up DNA, the genetic blueprint for cells. Mutations build up with ...

A new NYU Langone study showed that feeding mice 30 percent fewer calories reduced the level of genetic mutations across ...
