Scientists have uncovered an unexpected genetic shift that may explain how animals with backbones first emerged and became so diverse.
Learn how increased protein diversity in signaling genes may have helped drive the shift from invertebrates to vertebrates, ...
In the most comprehensive study of animal evolution ever attempted, an international consortium of scientists plans to assemble a genomic zoo–a collection of DNA sequences for 10,000 vertebrate ...
Producing reference genomes for all known eukaryotic species (~1.8 million) over the next decade is a daunting task. But the Earth BioGenome Project is hoping to do exactly that. Two separate projects ...
