Over the past two decades, scientists discovered that the majority of melanic wing color variants are controlled by a single genomic region surrounding the protein-coding gene 'cortex'. It was assumed ...

Study maps genetic changes that helped animals repeatedly move onto land
Researchers at the University of Bristol have traced the genetic changes that allowed animals to colonize land not once but ...
Biologists have discovered a new type of RNA-splicing regulation that helps to determine which protein-coding exons will be included in messenger RNA transcripts. RNA splicing is a cellular process ...
Thousands of new genes are hidden inside the “dark matter” of our genome. Previously thought to be noise left over from evolution, a new study found that some of these tiny DNA snippets can make ...
Perhaps you’ve read in a biology textbook that humans have the same number of genes as C. elegans, a worm used in scientific research. Perhaps you’d also like to believe that humans are more complex ...
I spotted my first sea anemone during my very first tide-pooling expedition a couple of years ago and had been enchanted by ...
Like islands scattered across a vast intergenic sea, the nearly 20,000 protein-coding genes within the human genome represent a mere 2 percent of its 3 billion base pairs. When, where, and to what ...
