A genomic study of gut microbes during antibiotic use finds selective sweeps in a DNA gyrase gene that drive resistance.

The Multicellular Long-Term Evolution Experiment (MuLTEE) uses "snowflake" yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a medium, evolving it from a single cell to increasingly complex multicellular organisms.

For example, human bodies are made up of tens of trillions of cells. These cells differentiate ... and together they make up a single living body. The evolution of multicellularity is one of ...

Until now, it’s been very hard for scientists to establish a detailed timeline of the early evolution of bacteria.

Under microscopes, scientists found that giant single-cell organisms were able to vacuum up more food when they are stuck together. By Jack Tamisiea For a creature made up of only a single cell ...

A study by scientists at the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center (HICCC) introduces a more cost-effective, scalable ...

WU Qingfeng at the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated the conserved cellular development and evolutionary innovations in the developing ...
