The elegant design of protein sequence/structure/function relationships arises from the interaction patterns between amino acid positions. A central question is how evolutionary forces shape the ...
How do cells know what they should become as the body develops? Biological development depends crucially on spatial patterns: the lines that eventually give rise to segments, organs, or markings like ...

From booze, to lactase, to body shapes, how 10,000 years of evolution has shaped humanity
Distinct human populations living on separate continents have followed largely similar patterns of evolution since the onset of the Neolithic period, according to a new study. This suggests that, ...
In most vertebrates, skin appendages such as hair, feathers, or scales originate from placodes—small, specialized skin regions whose spatial organization is controlled by well-conserved genetic ...
Competition between species played a major role in the rise and fall of hominins – and produced a “bizarre” evolutionary pattern for the Homo lineage – according to a new University of Cambridge study ...

The Yangtze River, often referred to as the mother river of China, is vital to both ecological functions and the economic and social development of the region. In a new study published in Water & ...
On the other hand, Dawkins’ forays into the popularization of evolutionary processes also made the zoologist the target of creationists and even a few biologists. In particular, his critics argue that ...
