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 ...

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 ...

Discover interesting facts about how evolution works, the different patterns that can emerge from evolution, how quickly organisms can evolve, and whether evolution is a random or ordered process When ...

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 ...

On the fourth floor of Northwest Labs lives ye olde yeast colony, propagating for over 16 thousand generations. Neither a medieval fungus problem nor an ancient sourdough factory, the yeast has been ...
