Crops increasingly need to thrive in a broader range of conditions, including drought, salinity, and heat. Traditional plant ...

PanMAN data structures compress pangenomes massively, encode evolutionary histories, and enable scalable analysis of millions of genomes.

Engineers at the University of California have developed a new data structure and compression technique that enables the ...

From eye color to whether cilantro tastes like soap, genetic variability influences many factors in a person’s life. These inherited differences can also determine a person’s risk of developing a ...

The present theory offers a unified solution to three closely related evolutionary problems. (1) Why does an evolving population explore only a small fraction of the accessible pathways in genotype ...

Even a single gene, reshuffled or regulated in new ways, can fuel repeated bursts of evolutionary innovation, according to a recent study of wheatear birds. A study was recently published in the ...
