A long-standing challenge to evolutionary theory has been whether it can explain the origin of complex organismal features. We examined this issue using digital organisms—computer programs that ...

The nucleosome remodelling and histone deacetylase (NuRD; also known as Mi-2) complex is a multisubunit chromatin remodelling complex that contains two core subunits (chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding ...

If the evolution of complex organisms were a road trip, then the simple country drives are what get you there. And sometimes even potholes along the way are important. An interdisciplinary team of ...
