A study in fruit flies suggests an internal genomic arms race may be driving rapid evolution in proteins that still perform an essential, unchanging job: protecting chromosome ends.

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 ...

A new study finds that at least one Archaea has surprisingly flexibility when interpreting genetic code, which goes against a ...

The Institute of Cancer Research has led a study showing that chromosomal instability in circulating tumour cells can predict resistance to cabazitaxel in men with advanced prostate cancer. Using ...
