Among the earliest known vertebrates some had 4 eyes, and it’s amazing what they’ve become
The preservation of fossils of some of the oldest known vertebrates is so impressive that palaeontologists can not only count their eyes, but determine how they worked. The findings demonstrate that ...
In the most comprehensive study of animal evolution ever attempted, an international consortium of scientists plans to assemble a genomic zoo–a collection of DNA sequences for 10,000 vertebrate ...
Producing reference genomes for all known eukaryotic species (~1.8 million) over the next decade is a daunting task. But the Earth BioGenome Project is hoping to do exactly that. Two separate projects ...
New pieces have been added to the puzzle of the evolution of some of the oldest fish that lived on Earth more than 400 million years ago. In two separate studies, experts in Australia and China have ...
