Recent research showed that an artificially constructed self-replicating RNA system modeling primitive life at the origin of ...

In a one-of-a-kind experiment led by UC Berkeley researchers, biologists in Europe, the Middle East and U.S. planted 360 small plots of Arabidopsis (above) in various types of climates — from alpine ...

For decades, ever since biologists recognized the potential environmental harms from climate change, they have worried that plants will not be able to evolve fast enough to adapt to a rapidly warming ...

Researchers have created a method called optovolution that uses light to guide the evolution of proteins with dynamic behaviors. By engineering yeast cells so their survival depended on proteins ...

An international team of researchers planted the same genetic lines of Arabidopsis thaliana in outdoor gardens stretching from North America to the Levant, then let natural selection run its course ...

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab. Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by ...
