Evolved macroscopic "snowflake" yeast from the MuLTEE experiment. The large size of the nuclei (yellow) and cells (cyan) are results of whole-genome duplication and aneuploidy. Sometimes, the most ...

Image showing predation of fluorescently labeled Serratia marcescens KZ19 by Tetrahymena thermophila Surprisingly, a large number of mutations occurred at the same site or in the same gene across ...

Scientists uncovered how whole-genome duplication emerges and remains stable over thousands of generations of evolution in the lab. Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by ...

Their paper, "Genome duplication in a long-term multicellularity evolution experiment," was published in Nature as the journal's cover story in March. "We set out to explore how organisms make the ...

Sometimes, the most significant scientific discoveries happen by accident. Scientists have long known that whole-genome duplication (WGD) - the process by which organisms copy all their genetic ...
