Researchers have found that male fruit flies can learn a new way to use their courtship song after an unusual social encounter. That fact suggests that the deviation in one of the most studied animals in biology is something that can change in a short time, even if the trait itself is inherited. Learning fly … Read more
image: ©wildpixel | iStock UK researchers have discovered key changes in a cancer gene that drive tumor growth, shedding new light on cancer development and potential treatment. For the first time, scientists in Manchester and London have identified the full range of cancer genes that drive tumor growth. Their work could lead to more effective … Read more
For thousands of years after agriculture spread to Europe, hunter-gatherers quietly endured in the lowlands of what is now the Netherlands and Belgium. A new ancient DNA study reveals that in these wet, cross-river areas, about 50% of hunter-gatherer villages survived until about 2500 BCE. They did so when most of the continent had already … Read more
An international team of researchers has found that Neanderthals were hit by a major population crisis that began about 75,000 years ago. Going back a while, almost all of the modern Neanderthals in Europe were like that descendants of one small group. This low genetic diversity may have contributed to their extinction, around 40,000 years … Read more
Researchers have found blocks of DNA in samples collected from the asteroid Ryugu/ (Image credit: JAXA, University of Tokyo) A detailed analysis of the samples returned from the asteroid Ryugu has revealed the presence of five “canonical” letters of DNA and RNA, which scientists have found to strengthen the fact that the basic ingredients of … Read more
Lifestyle and economic conditions play an important role in shaping healthy ageing, but their effects may vary depending on your DNA, according to a new international study led by researchers at Adelaide University. The study is the first of its kind to show that diet, exercise, sleep, smoking, education, work and social interactions all influence … Read more
Lifestyle and economic factors play an important role in shaping healthy ageing, but their effects can vary depending on your DNA, according to a new international study led by researchers at Adelaide University.

Researchers have discovered a powerful genetic mechanism that may help explain how some species evolve at an astonishing rate. Some parts of the DNA, known as “flipped” parts, seem to help fish adapt to new conditions more quickly and even split into completely new species. These genetic components act as evolutionary accelerators, preserving traits and … Read more
