For more than a century, biologists assumed that the bony plates embedded in the skin of lizards – like natural chain mail – ...

Biologists are closing in on a puzzle that seems to turn classic evolutionary logic inside out, yet may be so common that it deserves to be called a new rule of life. Instead of always purging harmful ...

Nematodes represent one of the most diverse and abundant animal groups on Earth, serving as both free‐living organisms and parasites across a wide range of ecosystems. Their biology is characterised ...

Why does natural selection appear to happen slowly on long timescales and quickly on short ones? A multigenerational study of four lizard species addresses biology’s “paradox of stasis.” James Stroud ...

A molecular biologist may have found a new 'rule of biology.' The rule challenges long-held notions that most living organisms prefer stability over instability because stability requires less energy ...

The SEED Conference series, established in 2014, has secured its position as the premier technical event for synthetic biologists to present their work, network, and build meaningful relationships.

The evolution of eukaryotic cells represents one of the most pivotal transitions in the history of life, marked by the emergence of cellular compartmentalisation and increased complexity. Central to ...

A new platform combines rational protein design with continuous evolution to discover functional molecules more efficiently. In medicine and biotechnology, the ability to evolve proteins with new or ...
