The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

A research team has clarified a mechanism of how retrotransposons, genetic elements that can 'jump around' chromosomes and are known drivers of evolution, preferentially insert in the centromere. A ...

A new Yale study on yeast shows how nongenetic factors are involved in real-time evolution. In the study, published in the journal Cell Reports on Oct. 27, researchers at Yale’s Systems Biology ...
