April 15 (UPI) --Scientists have developed a new algorithm that can predict how a protein could evolve to become highly effective or totally unproductive. The machine learning model -- detailed this ...

Researchers from 24 countries have analyzed the genomes of 809 individuals from 233 primate species, generating the most complete catalog of genomic information about our closest relatives to date.

Modern humans descended from not one, but at least two ancestral populations that drifted apart and later reconnected, long before modern humans spread across the globe. Using advanced analysis based ...
