Oxygen is essential for life as we know it. From powering our cells through respiration to shaping Earth’s atmosphere and ...

A study in fruit flies suggests an internal genomic arms race may be driving rapid evolution in proteins that still perform an essential, unchanging job: protecting chromosome ends.

Properly deciphering the branching pathways of evolution could unlock the history of every component of natural biology.

Dr. Dianne I Greenfield CUNY Advanced Science Research Center & Queens College Associate Professor in Environmental Sciences (Oceanography) Area of Research: Biological Oceanograp ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...

The Apennine brown bear, Ursus arctos marsicanus, exists nowhere else on Earth. Genetic evidence shows that this population ...

WIRED spoke with DeepMind’s Pushmeet Kohli about the recent past—and promising future—of the Nobel Prize-winning research ...

Life may have emerged from a surprisingly simple network of chemical reactions long before cells or genes existed.

Researchers find Apennine brown bears evolved into a smaller, less aggressive animal after centuries of coexistence with ...

These radioactive elements decay at known rates, effectively acting as a built-in clock that reveals precisely when the eggs were buried millions of years ago. This natural timekeeping mechanism has ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone ...
