Chunks of flipped DNA appear to accelerate evolution in fish. This discovery could reshape our understanding of how ...

In the house finch, this new approach revealed a DNA inversion that has existed for millions of years—and that may have ...

Cod used to be giants. With their impressive size—over a meter in length and weighing up to 40 kilograms—and abundance, they, ...

Decades of overfishing have altered the genetic makeup of Baltic cod, shrinking their size and threatening their recovery.

The condensation of stiff, highly charged DNA molecules into compact structures by condensing agents ranging from multivalent ions1 to small cationic proteins2,3 is of major biological and ...

What he found instead was that a large chunk of the plant's genome – 2.2 million letters of DNA and 350 genes – are working differently in each ecotype of the plant.

“With an inversion, big chunks — in this case, 30 million DNA bases — of the chromosome get flipped backwards,” he says. And this inversion in T. knulli, the team determined, is ancient. “We think it ...

Remote-controlled microflow using light-controlled state transitions within DNA condensates has been reported by scientists ...
