The self isn't a fortress. It's a permeable membrane, and that's what keeps you alive.

In 1968, a Japanese geneticist named Motoo Kimura published a paper that changed how every evolutionary biologist thought about evolution.

What potatoes, a gambler and your own genome knows about surviving a future you can't predict

The new Prime Minister has merged the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology into a new Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade.

Why is everything not an integrated, undifferentiated system?

What we have learned from absurd evolution

What machine learning revealed about predictability in a bacterial pangenome

The pangenome is the total genetic repertoire of a group of organisms. It is a property of populations, maintained by evolutionary processes.

Abstract. Hybridization has many and varied impacts on the process of speciation. Hybridization may slow or reverse differentiation by allowing gene flow a

Meditations for the anxious scientific mind

On bet-hedging, the mathematics of survival, and the unexpected virtue of being a little bit disorganised

These policies have moved from being questionable to being a red flag and are now a strong indication of a badly run organisation

New MSc in Wildlife Health and Conservation launched in partnership with Chester Zoo

Abstract. The fundamental principle that selection acts on a gene's function often assumes implicitly that this function is fixed and intrinsic. However, e
