A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...
In real life, mutants can arise when their DNA changes to give them an advantage over the rest of the population. A team from ...
A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by scientists from Israel and Ghana shows that an evolutionarily significant mutation in the human APOL1 gene arises not ...
The analysis revealed that about 2 per cent of sperm from men in their early 30s contained disease-causing mutations. That ...
When a snake displays its fangs, it’s showing off one of evolution’s greatest weapons. This is because snake venom is not a ...
A groundbreaking study published in this week’s issue of PNAS by scientists from Israel and Ghana shows that an evolutionarily significant mutation in the human APOL1 gene arises not randomly but more ...
