Exactly how life arose out of non-living matter is a major mystery, and a new study has found that natural selection may have played a role before life itself even existed on Earth. By recreating the ...

The key to understanding how the most aggressive lymphomas arise and resist current therapies may lie in mutations that disrupt a critical natural selection process among antibody-producing B cells, ...

A new study by researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison provides the first empirical evidence connecting the chromosomal location of genes to natural selection, indicating the arrangement of ...

Researchers of the Melnick Lab, led by Prof. Ari Melnick, medicine, recently published a study identifying a key mutation that disrupts the B-cell natural selection process during immune response, ...

A strange tiny species of crustacean has challenged the way we think about natural selection and evolution. This microscopic animal, known as a water flea or Daphnia pulex, generates genetic variation ...
