Centralized migration accelerates adaptation and drives parallel evolution, emphasizing the key influence of spatial organization on evolutionary dynamics across systems from pathogen transmission to ...

Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by accident. Scientists have long known that whole-genome duplication (WGD)—the process by which organisms copy all their genetic material ...

Georgia Tech scientists are revealing how decades-long research programs have transformed our understanding of evolution, from laboratory petri dishes to tropical islands—along the way uncovering ...

When a cell divides, the genome has to be duplicated, then the two copies separate, with one going to each daughter cell. But there have been whole genome duplication events in organisms in which both ...

Measuring the pace of evolution is tricky, but some species can evolve as quickly as a few generations. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it ...

Evolved macroscopic "snowflake" yeast from the MuLTEE experiment. The large size of the nuclei (yellow) and cells (cyan) are results of whole-genome duplication and aneuploidy. Sometimes, the most ...

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab. Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by ...
