This paper addresses the important question of quantifying epistasis patterns, which affect the predictability of evolution, by reanalyzing a recently published combinatorial deep mutational scan ...

This important study presents compelling observational data supporting a role for transcription and polysome accumulation in the separation of newly replicated bacterial chromosomes. The study is ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought.

New research reveals that bacteria form species and maintain cohesion through frequent DNA exchange within species. This ...

Oribatid mites are tiny, soil-dwelling decomposers with over 10,000 species, some of which have defied the rules of evolution for millions of years. These mites, measuring between 150 and 1400 ...

Explore how oribatid mites have thrived for millions of years without sex, using unique strategies like parthenogenesis and gene transfer.

This new approach, based on natural selection, dramatically improves the reliability of large language models for practical ...

A study by Georgia Tech researchers finds that bacteria maintain species cohesion through homologous recombination, a form of ...

However, new findings from Konstantinidis and his team suggest otherwise, positing that bacteria not only form species but also maintain cohesion within these species through mechanisms that closely ...

Scientists widely believed that bacteria, due to their unique genetic exchange mechanisms and the vast size of their global ...

With "Mind Evolution" LLMs can use search and genetic algorithms to generate and combine different solutions and find the optimal one.
