Gobies are, by species count, the most successful family of marine fishes on Earth. With 1,440 recognized species spread ...

A study of Trinidadian guppies finds that ancient chromosomal inversions, some millions of years old, are maintained by ...

Recombining regions of sex chromosomes, pseudoautosomal regions (PARs), are essential for proper segregation of the sex chromosome pair during meiosis. Yet, the evolutionary dynamics of PARs remain ...

Newswise — Most plant genome assemblies are haploid representations—they collapse two distinct parental chromosomes into a single, chimeric sequence. For highly heterozygous, clonally propagated crops ...

Comment: Newsroom recently published an article claiming that MP Jenny Marcroft’s proposed definition of “woman” and “man” “fails basic science”. Yet the article itself does not accurately describe ...

Divergent selection across species ranges does not always translate into observable morphological divergence. Genomic approaches agnostic to traits or groups of populations under selection can reveal ...

In Lake Malawi, Africa, fish known as cichlids have been evolving astonishingly fast—the lake hosts at least 800 species of them. Researchers who sequenced the genomes of these fish found that ...

A grueling road trip led to an extraordinary experiment at UConn’s Rankin Seawater lab that discovered how inverted chromosomal segments help Atlantic silversides adapt John S. Rankin Laboratory at ...

近日， 康奈尔大学Nina O. Therkildsen及其课题组的研究发现多个染色体倒位调控沿陡峭温度梯度的持续局部适应。相关论文于2026年3月5日发表于国际顶尖学术期刊《科学》杂志上。 利用数量和群体 ...

When a species lives in two distinct types of habitats, individuals with traits better suited to each habitat will thrive and reproduce, naturally selecting descendants with those traits. But what ...
