When tools like ChatGPT first launched, they weren’t even connected to the internet. No real-time knowledge, no live queries, just pretrained data with a cutoff point. Two years later, Perplexity, a ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...

David Toews works for Pennsylvania State University. He receives funding from The National Science Foundation. People typically think about evolution as a linear process where, within a species, the ...

ANN ARBOR—For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ...

Wanbang Digital Energy is repositioning itself from a charging pile operator into a global integrated energy solutions provider by combining independently developed storage systems with its existing ...

Researchers studied ancient tooth fossils and found that a gene mutation in modern humans (right) better protected them against lead and gave them an advantage over Neanderthals (left). Kyle Dykes / ...

The secret to the naked mole-rats' extraordinarily long life may lie in subtle changes to just four amino acids, researchers report. According to a new study, evolutionary mutations in cGAS – an ...

An international team led by the Clínic-IDIBAPS-UB along with the Institute of Cancer Research, London, has developed a new method based on DNA methylation to decipher the origin and evolution of ...

The wide, basin-shaped pelvis of modern humans helps us walk upright on two legs and give birth safely to babies with large heads. Pixabay Walking upright on two legs is one of the key traits that ...

A new evolutionary technique from Japan-based AI lab Sakana AI enables developers to augment the capabilities of AI models without costly training and fine-tuning processes. The technique, called ...

A gene called ADSL, which helps synthesize DNA, differs between modern humans and our extinct human relatives. The findings could shed light on why Neanderthals vanished. When you purchase through ...

A newly discovered genetic mutation unique to humans may help explain why we are significantly more vulnerable to cancer than our closest evolutionary relatives. Researchers at the University of ...
