How do cells know what they should become as the body develops? Biological development depends crucially on spatial patterns: the lines that eventually give rise to segments, organs, or markings like ...
The elegant design of protein sequence/structure/function relationships arises from the interaction patterns between amino acid positions. A central question is how evolutionary forces shape the ...
Polyploidy, or whole-genome duplication (WGD), is a major mechanism of genome evolution across the tree of life and is particularly prevalent in plants, where it facilitates the evolution of new ...
Distinct human populations living on separate continents have followed largely similar patterns of evolution since the onset of the Neolithic period, according to a new study. This suggests that, ...
Competition between species played a major role in the rise and fall of hominins – and produced a “bizarre” evolutionary pattern for the Homo lineage – according to a new University of Cambridge study ...
Scientists have discovered that female guppies choose males with uncommon color patterns to drive the evolution of their ...

The Yangtze River, often referred to as the mother river of China, is vital to both ecological functions and the economic and social development of the region. In a new study published in Water & ...
