We are just one branch of a diverse human family tree. Aside from Neanderthals, who were they – and why did we replace them?

This manuscript introduces a useful protein-stability-based fitness model for simulating protein evolution and unifying non-neutral models of molecular evolution with phylogenetic models. The model is ...

Investigating ancient cyanobacterial timekeeping systems sheds light on the evolution of circadian rhythms and their ...

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a research team has studied ancient timekeeping systems. They examined the oscillation of the clock proteins KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC ...

To better understand the circadian clock in modern-day cyanobacteria, a Japanese research team has studied ancient ...

Researchers have developed a new "body clock" tool that calculates people’s biological ... BENEFIT The tool focuses on "health entropy," which encompasses the amount of molecular and cellular damage ...

Researchers have developed a new "body clock" tool that calculates people ... on "health entropy," which encompasses the amount of molecular and cellular damage the body has sustained over ...

The study not only advances our understanding of mammoth evolution but also contributes to the broader field of ancient DNA research. The team developed and applied an improved molecular clock dating ...

and the periodicity of a molecular oscillator active within the PSM known as the segmentation clock. Here, we explore whether the clock and PSM morphogenesis exhibit developmental modularity, as ...

The study was published in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Age and longevity ... Here we present a novel molecular clock based on the accumulation of fixed somatic genetic variation ...

Molecular Clock The molecular clock is a technique used to estimate ... Understanding how to calculate mutation rate has profound implications for our understanding of evolution, disease progression, ...
