These examples show that genomics bridges the gap between evolutionary biology and developmental biology. Reciprocal questions often frame studies of the evolution of developmental mechanisms.

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

Evolutionary Genomics, Inc., together with its subsidiaries, engages in the research and identification of positively selected genes in humans, animals, and commercial crops. The company develops ...

Through genome analysis, the scientists uncovered surprising insights into yerba mate’s evolutionary history – particularly ...

An international research team has discovered various mechanisms in asexual mites that generate genetic diversity and thus ...

In addition to genes, the genome also contains large regions of DNA that do not code for proteins. This non-coding DNA, sometimes referred to as "junk DNA," has various functions, such as regulating ...

“Hox genes seem to have a lot of constraint across evolution,” said Srivastava. “Now here's an animal that has played with that constraint. So, studying something that deviates from the rules can ...

A recent study at Earth-Life Science Institute (ELSI) at Institute of Science Tokyo has developed a theoretical model that uncovers the dual role of polyploidy—organisms carrying extra genome ...

Dynamic evolution of pectinases The analyses also ... the symbiont's pectinase gene may be transferred into the beetle's genome and the symbiont may be lost, but this process needs to be studied ...
