Many of the ancient southern Africans, including those who lived between about 10,200 and 1,400 years ago, "fall outside the ...
On November 24, 1859, Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species and transformed our understanding of life on Earth by introducing the scientific theory that populations evolve over the course ...
A genomic study of human and selected nonhuman primate centromeres has revealed their unimaginable diversity and speed of evolutionary change. Although centromeres are vital to proper cell replication ...
EVE is a deep generative model combining evolutionary and human population data to estimate variant deleteriousness on a proteome-wide scale.
Evolution is a complicated thing. Much of modern evolutionary biology seeks to reconcile the seeming randomness of the forces behind the process — how mutations occur, for example — with the ...
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 ...
