Scientists have uncovered how butterfly wing patterns form, revealing that a few key genes and gene regulation control ...

Researchers at Trinity have found that a largely overlooked form of cancer evolution, which drives aggressive disease and poor patient outcomes, is far more widespread than previously thought.

A new review highlights how human evolution has shaped the presence of pathogenic variations in DNA damage repair (DDR) genes, offering a new perspective on why modern populations face increased ...

For centuries, the dazzling colours and intricate wing designs of butterflies have fascinated people. These insects have an ...

In southern Africa, a group of people lived in partial isolation for hundreds of thousands of years. This is shown in a new study based on analyses of the genomes of 28 people who lived between 10,200 ...

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...
