A scaling law relates the expected number of mutants to the total population size of cells in a spatially constrained but ...

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.

An ambitious and revolutionary initiative aims to map every cell of all eukaryotic life on Earth. The result will be a ...

For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material in a process called horizontal gene transfer.

The Atlas blue butterfly, with a record-breaking 229 pairs of chromosomes, is helping scientists unravel mysteries of ...

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

New research suggests that the evolution of the human brain may explain why autism is more common in humans than in other ...

A scaling law relates the expected number of mutants to the total population size of cells in a spatially constrained but growing population, which ...

A new study shows that bacterial cell wall molecules, specifically peptidoglycan, are present in the brain and fluctuate with ...

Autism-linked genes evolved rapidly in humans. They may have aided brain growth and language. A recent study published in ...

When a woman becomes pregnant, the outcome of that pregnancy depends on many things — including a crucial event that happened ...
