The work demonstrates the power of ancient DNA to illuminate human biology and medicine in addition to history. A massive ...

A new paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution, finds that changes in animal development induced by climate shock persist ...

Knowing how human DNA changes over generations is essential to estimating genetic disease risks and understanding how we evolved. But some of the most changeable regions of our DNA have been ...

Evolution works over millennia. Climate change is moving far faster. That mismatch is killing some of the planet’s most vital ...

In a first-of-its-kind experiment tracing evolution across 25 generations, scientists have discovered that marine copepods—the tiny crustaceans at the heart of the ocean food web—rely on a largely ...

University of Vermont Professor Melissa Pespeni led a research team that explored how tiny sea creatures evolve. Her discovery provides hope that organisms in the ocean my be more resilient to the ...

Quotient's Somatic Genomics platform reveals new approaches to treat disease based on the vast genetic variation present in the body's trillions of cells Company emerges from stealth after two years ...

This volume is based on the National Academy of Sciences' Colloquium on the Tempo and Mode of Evolution. The articles appearing in these pages were contributed by speakers at the colloquium and have ...
