Changes in gene expression are thought to underlie many of the phenotypic differences between species. However, large-scale analyses of gene expression evolution were until recently prevented by ...

Even after 20 million years of evolutionary separation, two tiny worm species show astonishingly similar patterns in how they ...

Gene expression patterns differ substantially among even closely related primate species. The extent of transcriptome divergence between species increases monotonically with evolutionary time ...

By looking at patterns of gene expression in individual brain cells, ... promises to rewrite notions of time and evolution. Philip Ball. How the Universe and Its Mirrored Version Are Different ...

CRISPR-Cas9, the new gene modification tool, which has been heralded as a means for inserting ourselves into evolution, is itself evolving as a technology, even as you read this.

Two species of worms have retained remarkably similar patterns in the way they switch their genes on and off despite having ...

Researchers have studied gene expression dynamics during metamorphosis in two species of flies. Published in the Genome ...

The existence of ant colonies was a mystery even to the famous naturalist Charles Darwin. How could evolution produce workers ...

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 ...

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 ...

Measuring gene expression changes over time may help predict T1D diabetes ... the role of these immune cells does not figure prominently in current theories explaining how the immunopathology of ...

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 ...
