We tested whether the location of mutations in our dataset was associated with epigenomic features, focusing on biochemical properties previously linked to mutation: gene expression, GC content, ...

Natural selection is the process by which some organisms in a population survive and reproduce, while others do not, based on their bodies and behaviour. It is one of the processes by which species ...

For years, the story of recent human evolution looked relatively quiet. Scientists studying ancient human DNA had found only a few dozen clear cases where natural selection appeared to strongly favor ...

Sexual dimorphism is one of the most prevalent, and often the most extreme, examples of phenotypic variation within species, and arises primarily from genomic variation that is shared between females ...
