A new study from EMBL Barcelona researchers shows that metabolic activities selectively modulate the segmentation clock, ...

Is there only one optimal configuration an organism can reach during evolution? Is there a single formula that describes the trajectory towards the optimum? And can we 'derive' it in a purely ...

Over half of our genomes consists of thousands of remnants of ancient viral DNA, known as transposable elements, which are widespread across the tree of life. Once dismissed as the 'dark side' of the ...

Whether it is pods of whales or collectives of tiny cells, life’s building blocks have been selected to self-organize close ...

Old viral DNA, once thought to be gone forever, is reactivated in mammalian embryos, with each species showing unique ...
