To figure out how Yellow is produced in a wing spot in some species and not others, we searched the DNA sequences around the Yellow gene for the enhancers that control its expression in various ...

In the last couple blog posts, I introduced the serotonin transporter promoter gene, or 5-HTTLPR.It’s a gene that controls how many serotonin re-uptake transporters you have, and differences in ...

Millions of years of evolution separate us from our last common ancestor with mice. In that time, our brains, and those of other primates, have picked up some impressive cognitive abilities. A ...

The differences in gene expression suggested that the reptilian DVR and the mammalian neocortex evolved independently from different regions of the brain. “The 2018 paper was really a landmark paper ...
