A common ancestor to us and Mayflies produced 7,000 genes causing bilaterian animal life to emerge on Earth. #genetics #evolution #bilaterianlife https://lnkd.in/d7B3-hYz

If evolution was originally depicted as a tree, with different #Species branching off as new blooms, then new research published in Nature (Nature Portfolio) shows how the branches may actually be more entangled. Harvard University researchers show that hybrids between species of #Butterflies can produce new species that are genetically distinct from both parent species and their earlier forebears.

Genomes of multicellular algal relatives reveal evolutionary clues to plant origins, Berlin, Germany (SPX) May 06, 2024 Land plants, which dominate our planet's landscape, have developed from simple organisms into complex forms with diverse organs and cell types. This transformation, supported by a vast network of genes, facilitates the intricate shaping of plant structures through various molecular processes. This significant evolution began with a singular event-plant terrestrialization-when ancestors of,

Chloroplast and whole-genome sequencing shed light on the evolutionary history and phenotypic diversification of peanuts Chloroplast and whole-genome sequencing of a global germplasm panel of 355 Arachis accessions encompassing various species sheds light on the evolutionary history and phenotypic diversification of peanuts. https://lnkd.in/gAhXPfdv

Gene flow in giraffes and what it means for their conservation . Giraffes, with their bizarre body plan, have always held a special place in the minds of evolutionary biologists and non-experts alike. In a new study whole-genome sequencing data was used to investigate the evolutionary processes occurring within giraffes. In particular, the authors were interested in establishing whether different populations of giraffes really have been isolated from each other for extended periods of time, which is normally a requirement before new species can arise. #ScienceDailynews #InnovativeResearch #NextGenScience #ExploringFrontiers
