A tiny freshwater snail from New Zealand is giving scientists a glimpse into evolution in motion. University of Iowa ...

The vampire squid genome shows it kept ancient features shared with squids, while octopuses gained major chromosomal changes.

A new study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison provides the first empirical evidence connecting the ...

Researchers from Vienna and Japan sequenced the largest cephalopod genome. They analysed the genome of the vampire squid from ...

Cornell researchers have found that a new DNA sequencing technology can be used to study how transposons move within and bind ...

The human genome is made up of 23 pairs of chromosomes, the biological blueprints that make humans … well, human. But it turns out that some of our DNA — about 8% — are the remnants of ancient viruses ...

Researchers have studied gene expression dynamics during metamorphosis in two species of flies. Published in the Genome Biology and Evolution, the study aims to identify patterns of changes in gene ...

A new genome mapping method is helping Cornell scientists unlock the secrets of transposons—long dismissed as “junk DNA”—according to the Cornell Chronicle. Using a technique called CUT&Tag, ...
