An international research team involving the IPK Leibniz Institute has discovered a small yet significant genetic difference ...

Scientists have uncovered an enormous hidden archive of plant DNA that has endured for more than 400 million years. By comparing hundreds of plant genomes, researchers identified more than 2.3 million ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Scientists call the phenomenon “evolutionary rescue” — when a species’ genetic diversity allows it to survive amid extreme threats.

Wild scarlet monkeyflowers in California survived a historic drought by relying on a rapid evolution, marking the first time the process has been observed in the wild.

Researchers uncovered millions of ancient plant DNA switches—some older than flowering plants themselves—revealing a hidden evolutionary blueprint stretching back 400 million years. Most people have ...

The cloudberry, a popular northern dessert berry, reveals a surprising genetic origin after a study deciphers its complex evolution.

Researchers create the first high-resolution molecular atlas of the fruit fly brain, revealing how lineage and birth order define neuronal identity.

Reconstructing the origin of cultivated plants often represents a real puzzle for scientists. Indeed, many species, like wheat or precisely the strawberry, possess genomes resulting from the ...

A study reveals how the asexual Amazon molly defies evolutionary expectations — plus, evidence of what might be powering superluminous supernovae.
