A new mathematical model that can be applied to both single-cell and bulk DNA sequencing data sheds light on the processes governing population dynamics in stem cells.

Physical interactions are a minor contributor to the correlations in evolutionary rate over time that are observed between co-functional proteins.

Achieving autotrophy in E. coli by introducing a small number of genetic changes crosses a milestone in engineering major metabolic transitions and paves a way for sustainable bio-production from CO₂.

Germline mutation rates in mice are shaped by two mutator alleles that interact epistatically, showing that DNA repair defects that map to different loci can have snowballing effects.

Larger phylogenetic context is required to understand human and nonhuman primate brain evolution.

Exploring tissue-specific regulation of gene expression with human-chimpanzee hybrid cells helps us understand how life evolves and what makes us human.

Computational analyses, for the first time in plants, reveal how male-biased genes evolve faster than female-biased and unbiased genes.

ChIP-seq analysis reveals BMP signaling targets in a cnidarian and identifies ZSWIM4-6 as a dampener of the pSMAD1/5 gradient and a potential conveyor of the BMP-mediated gene repression.
