Gene duplication is a central driver of plant evolutionary innovation, generating multiple copies of genes that can diverge in function, regulation and structure. Such duplications occur at different ...

The earliest snakes lost much of their ability to see color as they inhabited dimly lit spaces. Now, a collaboration of researchers from The University of Adelaide (Australia), The University of ...

Plant molecular evolution offers key insights into how coding and regulatory changes shape the diversity of form and function across the plant kingdom. The ...

Scientists from Flinders University have highlighted that testing for duplication of the FOXC1 gene could reveal those at ...

When cells divide and chromosomes are replicated for the daughter cells in a select type of cell called the germline, which is happening constantly in living things, sometimes things don’t go ...

Angiosperms, also known as flowering plants, represent the most diverse group of seed plants, and their origin and evolution have long been a central question in plant evolutionary biology.

Data from a new study links a pair of duplicated genes to human brain features. The research provides a roadmap for scientists to gain a deeper understanding of brain function and evolution, as well ...

CANBERRA, May 8 (Xinhua) -- A major Australian-led study has identified a new genetic contributor to juvenile glaucoma, offering potential for earlier diagnosis and targeted treatment of this leading ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

A new study reveals how the duplication of the salivary amylase gene may not only have helped shape human adaptation to starchy foods, but may have occurred as far back as more than 800,000 years ago, ...
