New genomic research suggests our species descended from a deep fusion between two ancient lineages — one of them a mysterious “ghost.” ...

Genetic researcher Nathan Clark spoke about research his team at the University of Pittsburgh conducted on evolutionary genetics. The seminars are hosted weekly by the University of Wisconsin Genetics ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...

Scientists and institutions present findings on evolution, genetics, and neuroscience, underscoring active research areas ...

A growing body of genetic evidence suggests that Neanderthals and Denisovans carried many of the same regulatory gene networks linked to language and vocal anatomy in modern humans, challenging the ...

How did horses become some of the greatest athletes in the animal kingdom? Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine may have found the answer, pinpointing a genetic mutation and evolutionary process that ...

Centromeres play virtually the same central role across the entire tree of life: They ensure the faithful segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Yet the striking diversity in centromere ...

Unlike the nuclear genome, the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) is small, circular, and maternally inherited. This simplifies lineage tracing and can guide inferences of evolutionary relationships as part ...
