Genome studies have helped uncover an entirely new branch of fungi that includes 600 seemingly unconnected fungi. However, when digging into the genome sequencing of each fungus, researchers ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a powerful tool for one of science’s most ambitious goals: detecting life beyond Earth. But a new study warns that current AI systems may be fundamentally ...

In a peer-reviewed analysis, scientists quantify amino acids before and after our “last universal common ancestor.” The last universal common ancestor (LUCA) is the single life form that branched into ...

Researchers describe five new deep-sea squat lobster species. Combining molecular data and microCT their findings show a wider species distribution range and shallower genetic diversity, calling for a ...
