An integrative approach allows investigations of the relationship between an initial plasticity and the subsequent adaptive evolution during rapid adaptive modification of complex systems in the wild.
A new high-resolution approach to probing tooth chemistry shows real potential to uncover changing rainfall patterns and environmental conditions during human prehistory.
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.
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.
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.
Exploring tissue-specific regulation of gene expression with human-chimpanzee hybrid cells helps us understand how life evolves and what makes us human.
