Behe touts the concept of ‘irreducible complexity,’ asserting that certain biological systems cannot evolve through gradual ...

A groundbreaking study published in this week’s issue of PNAS by scientists from Israel and Ghana shows that an evolutionarily significant mutation in the human APOL1 gene arises not randomly but more ...

Many scientific discoveries are serendipitous—the result of chance. Seeing evolution in action in a cheese cave turned out to be exactly that for Benjamin Wolfe, associate professor of biology, and ...

The study of experimental evolution in Escherichia coli has provided unprecedented insights into the mechanisms of adaptive mutations, elucidating how populations diverge and optimise their fitness ...

A scaling law relates the expected number of mutants to the total population size of cells in a spatially constrained but ...

Directed evolution is usually a laborious process that often takes weeks in which proteins rapidly evolve and develop mutations over many cycle.

Researchers published a new study, “Ongoing chromothripsis underpins osteosarcoma genome complexity and clonal evolution,” in Cell that they say solves the mystery of what drives the genomic ...
