Wiemann combines tools from chemistry, biology, and geology to explore ecological and evolutionary questions about life on ...

Over a few million years, the spider Dysdera tilosensis—a species endemic to the Canary Islands—has reduced the size of its ...

New research has uncovered shared patterns between ribosomal RNAs and genes linked to brain disorders, including autism, ...

Molecular evolution investigates the processes that drive changes in genetic material over time. It encompasses the generation of mutations—whether through DNA replication errors, damage or other ...

In this interview segment, Christian Mayer discusses the benefits of using pressure cycling to study prebiotic chemistry.

It has been over 60 years since Osamu Shimomura et al. discovered Green Fluorescent Protein (GFP) 1. Since then, the color palette for fluorescent proteins has been extended to span blue through to ...

Using CO (J=1–0) molecular line data obtained from the 13.7-meter millimeter-wave telescope at the Purple Mountain ...

An updated evolutionary model shows that living systems evolve in a split-and-hit-the-gas dynamic, where new lineages appear in sudden bursts rather than during a long marathon of gradual changes.

Currently, treatment-resistant infections cause at least one million deaths worldwide every year, with this number expected to rise. While some bacteria and fungi carry antimicrobial resistance (AMR) ...

A University of Queensland-led study has found Australian skinks have evolved molecular armor to stop snake venom from shutting down their muscles. The research has been published in the International ...
