Could a novel approach to genetic studies give us a clearer picture of how evolutionary adaptations occur? That's what the ...

By Gilbert Nakweya NAIROBI ― Understanding the genetic traits of chimpanzees and how they help them adapt to unique ...

The study, published in Nature, shows that bats have more genetic adaptations in immune genes than other mammals. The ISG15 gene in particular plays a key role: in some bats, it can reduce the ...

Over generations, some populations have developed genetic adaptations that enable them to thrive in these conditions. This phenomenon is particularly evident in groups such as Tibetans ...

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 ...

Chimpanzees bear genetic adaptations that help them thrive in their different forest and savanna habitats, some of which may protect against malaria, according to a study by an international team ...

“The fact that we find potential evidence of parallel adaptations in chimpanzees and humans suggest that studying chimpanzee evolution (and primate evolution more generally) will help us learn not ...

Chimpanzees bear genetic adaptations that help them thrive in their different forest and savannah habitats, some of which may protect against malaria, according to a study by an international team ...

Current statistical projections of pest impact under climate change neglect the role of rapid genetic adaptation. Here the authors show that evolutionary responses in pest life history traits in ...
