In natural populations, the mechanisms of evolution do not act in isolation. This is crucially important to conservation geneticists, who grapple with the implications of these evolutionary processes ...

Jessica Nance, MD, MS, discusses maximizing gene therapy efficiency by selecting vectors for gene size, tissue targeting, and low exposure, and focusing on precise promoters for expression. This is a ...

Sexual selection can promote adaptation if sexually selected traits are reliable indicators of genetic quality. Moreover, models of good genes sexual selection suggest that, by operating more strongly ...

For millennia, evolution has intrigued many great thinkers, prompting questions about how new traits emerge as species adapt over time. Then, attention shifted to natural selection and the inheritance ...

A novel iLDS statistic uncovers adaptive gene sweeps in gut bacteria, highlighting evolutionary responses to modern diets and enhancing microbiome studies.

Guerra, Vanessa, I., Haynes, Gwilym, Byrne, Maria, and Hart, Michael W. 2021. "Selection on genes associated with the evolution of divergent life histories: Gamete ...

Tumors and swarms of disease-carrying insects may not seem to have much in common, until you try to destroy them. Pesticide by pesticide, or chemotherapeutic by chemotherapeutic, the very thing you’re ...
