The giraffe is a truly puzzling animal. With its exceptional anatomy and suite of evolutionary adaptations, the giraffe is an outstanding case of animal evolution…
International team of researchers investigates how evolution forms the structure and function of a newly emerged protein in flies. Proteins are the key component in…
UMD-led research identifies age-related changes to DNA and reveals longevity-related differences between bat species. A new study led by University of Maryland and UCLA researchers…
Modern hospitals and antibiotic treatment alone did not create all the antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria we see today. Instead, selection pressures from before the widespread…

Study of Himalayan songbirds in museum collections is first step toward using feathers to predict the effects of climate change for birds in extreme environments….
The majority of the population can produce neutralizing antibodies against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in severe cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19),…
The molecular details of how SARS-CoV-2 enters cells and infects them are still not clear. Researchers at Uppsala University have tested the bioinformatic predictions made…
Machines, thanks to novel algorithms and advances in computer technology, can now learn complex models and even generate high-quality synthetic data such as photo-realistic images…
Bd’s actin structures likely play roles in causing skin disease threatening amphibians worldwide. Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have gained new insight into…
Researchers reconstruct the ancestral great ape Y and show its rapid evolution in bonobo and chimpanzee. New analysis of the DNA sequence of the male-specific…
Genetic analysis shows that reindeer lichens reproduce sexually as opposed to asexually more often than researchers thought. In northern Canada, the forest floor is carpeted…
Researchers from the Hubrecht Institute mapped the recovery of the heart after a heart attack with great detail. They found that heart muscle cells —…
An analysis of an exhaustive dataset on cells essential to the mammalian immune system shows that our ability to fight disease may rely more heavily…
Viral genome sequencing of wastewater can detect new SARS-CoV-2 variants before they are detected by local clinical sequencing, according to a new study reported in mBio,…
