MPN-BP transformation is driven by sequential mutations disrupting genomic stability, with TP53 mutations being strong predictors of progression. TP53 mutations confer a selective growth advantage, ...

It is often assumed that modern humans are no longer evolving. But there is now considerable agreement among scientists that evolution is still affecting our species—and this process is taking place ...

Researchers at the University of Maine are theorizing that human beings may be in the midst of a major evolutionary shift—driven not by genes, but by culture. "Human evolution seems to be changing ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

The warming of the Arctic is transforming not only its ice but also the genetics of its inhabitants. According to a study ...

Important, previously unrecognized genetic changes common to all ancient and modern Homo sapiens spread in Africa more than 300,000 years ago, a new study finds. After that, the same investigation ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...

A genetic parasite may have robbed humans and other apes of their tails. “It was like lightning struck once,” says Jef Boeke, a geneticist at New York University Langone Health, and ape behinds ...

Researchers have achieved a breakthrough in understanding how genetic drivers influence the evolution of a specific photosynthesis mechanism in Tillandsia (air plants). This sheds light on the complex ...

Our understanding of mental illness is undergoing a major evolution, driven by recent advances in genetics. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms observed in consultation, research is ...
