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 Nature by researchers at IRB Barcelona and the University of Washington shows that smoking and biological sex influence how mutated cells expand in healthy bladder tissue. The ...

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 ...

Groundbreaking research shows that as men age, harmful genetic mutations in sperm become more common—not just from random ...

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 ...

The study of experimental evolution in Escherichia coli has provided unprecedented insights into the mechanisms of adaptive mutations, elucidating how populations diverge and optimise their fitness ...

Women tend to live longer than men, and while the extra years can be partially attributed to biology, behavioral differences ...
