[Kory] has been experimenting with genetic algorithms. Normally we’d expect his experiments to deal with tuning the variables in a control system or something, but he’s doing something much ...

In a new UCLA-led study, investigators shed light on the intricate processes underlying cancer evolution and define the ...

Yet this genetic similarity is very real ... many dramatic examples of how genes have been "conserved" throughout evolution -- that is, genes that perform certain functions in lower animals ...

Hiding behind numerous disguises, HIV has been evading researchers for years, leaving the search for a vaccine as elusive as ...

The genome structure—how genes are organized within DNA sequences in an organism—is fundamental to the processes and ...

A genetic mutation and evolutionary trick fuels horses' exceptional athleticism, findings that may advance scientific ...

The thesis of Eytan Avital and Eva Jablonka's book is that the evolution of behavior cannot be accounted for by genes alone. Instead, they believe that learning creates a significant part of the ...

However, physiological trade-offs at the individual level do not always translate into genetic (evolutionary) trade-offs at the population level. For instance, when the physiological (within ...
