The discovery, published in the journal Molecular Biology and Evolution, reveals for the first time how an animal species managed to reduce its genome by almost half during oceanic island colonization...
An international team led by CENIEH has analyzed nearly a thousand baboon skull scans and found that around 20% contained hidden errors, highlighting the need for stricter quality controls
It has been reconstructed the key genomic adaptations at different stages of the evolutionary transition to terrestrial ecosystems. The results show that, although each lineage followed its own evolut...
Se trata de la primera reconstrucción estructural de proteínas ancestrales multiméricas, es decir, aquellas capaces de ensamblarse para generar una función biológica nueva
An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone structures through proteins present in the bone matrix. The findings of the study, l...
The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously thought, but also in echinoderms (invertebrates).
Published in Nature, the team led by Dr. Toni Gabaldón used the MareNostrum supercomputer to reconstruct the genetic origin of the last common ancestor of all eukaryotes—the cellular lineage to whi...
