Discovery of new taxon of Saccorhytida suggests that the ground pattern of Ecdysozoa may not be elongated vermiform instead sac-like in shape.

Secondary active transporters can evolve to accommodate a broader range of substrates without losing their original substrate specificities.

As a result of frequent gene duplication and haplotypic variation, a family of immune genes in the model vertebrate zebrafish has thousands of gene copies that are population- or individual-specific.

The long mandibles were gradually replaced by more flexible trunks in the evolution of proboscideans.

Comparative transcriptome analyses of human placenta reveal regulatory divergence between native highlanders and lowland immigrants living at high altitude, and a sex-biased pattern of genetic adaptation.

Laboratory experiments on a fluorescent protein in E. coli reveal how duplicate genes are rapidly inactivated by mutations during evolution.
