Scientists have shed new light on the rhino family tree after recovering a protein sequence from a fossilized tooth from more ...

One study is of enamel proteins from extinct mammal fossils from the Turkana Basin in Kenya, and the other study is of enamel proteins from extinct mammals in the Haughton impact crater site located ...

Proteins degrade over time, making their history hard to study. But new research has uncovered ancient proteins in the enamel ...

Scientists have uncovered ancient fossils, prehistoric artwork, and other clues to human evolution. Here are nine of the most revealing discoveries that have changed our understanding of our early ...

Evolutionary relationships between organisms are frequently derived as phylogenetic trees inferred from multiple sequence alignments (MSAs). The MSA parameter space is exponentially large, so tens of ...

Phylogenetic networks are a generalization of phylogenetic trees that allow for the representation of nontreelike evolutionary events, like recombination, hybridization, or lateral gene transfer.

It has genes for ribosomes, tRNAs, and mRNAs. These components are the scaffolding of life: the tools by which cells read ...

Our human evolution workshops were conducted with well-resourced and historically disadvantaged schools attending. The grade ...

Alignment and sequencing errors are a major concern in molecular evolution, and this valuable study represents a welcome improvement for genome-wide scans of positive selection. This new method seems ...

Can evolution save ash trees from dieback? How a group of scientists have found hope for ash trees by proving a 100 year-old evolutionary concept ...
