A research team has created a comprehensive evolutionary tree of all bird species, integrating data from hundreds of studies ...

The biodiversity of Earth's oceans is disproportionately concentrated in coral reefs—the vibrant undersea ecosystems where ...

Tyrannosaurus rex evolved in North America, but its direct ancestor came from Asia, crossing a land bridge connecting the continents more than 70 million years ago, according to a new study.

The Digimon Card Game, launched in April 2020, quickly gained popularity in the trading card game world. Its fast-paced and ...

By combining data on all known bird species, this tree is the most impressive snapshot yet of one of Earth’s most ...

Bandai Namco isn't necessarily known for its RPGs, but it's had a number of sleeper hits and a few games that have become all ...

Approach: Using bioinformatics tools, we reconstructed clonal evolution trees from whole-genome sequencing (WGS) analysis of tumors and inferred migration patterns to determine metastatic seeding.

Using state-of-the-art evolutionary analyses through computer ... we may expect to find it hiding in many other forms across the tree of life.

Could aquatic mammals, such as whales, orcas, and bottlenose dolphins, ever evolve to live on land again? It seems the chances of this are actually vanishingly small, as the adaptations that allow ...

However, the adaptive value, mechanistic diversity, and evolution of epigenome-targeted DNA repair systems across the tree of life remain unresolved. Here, we investigated the evolution of histone ...

In this work, Monroe JG and colleagues show a compelling case of convergent evolution in the fusion between an important mismatch repair protein (MSH6) and histone reader domains across the tree of ...

That picture (below) comes in the form of a “timetree”—a phylogenetic tree that not only shows how species are related, but also when each split occurred in evolutionary history. The idea is ...
