Gut bacteria rapidly adapt to processed food additives, revealing how modern diets can reshape microbial evolution worldwide.

The gut microbiome is complex, and can be affected by the things we eat, our physical habits, our genes, and other factors.

Rather than a slow, gradual process as Darwin envisioned, biologists can now see how evolutionary changes unfold on much more accelerated timescales. Using an accelerated arms race between bacteria ...

UCLA researchers found that gut bacteria are rapidly evolving in response to modern diets. Genes enabling digestion of ...

A team of researchers reconstructed long-extinct proteins of a UV protection system of cyanobacteria. The surprising result: the proteins were already compatible with each other when they first met.

Gut bacteria evolve rapidly in response to different diets, UCLA evolutionary biologists report in a new study. The ...

Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine previously found a set of human gene mutations that protect older adults against cognitive decline and dementia. In a new study, ...

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 ...

A scientist from Protein Evolution works in the company's New Haven, Connecticut, facility. In nature, mutations are introducted randomly into organisms. The strongest ones survive. Protein Evolution ...
