Historically, the ribosome has been viewed as a constitutive molecular machine with little regulatory capacity in mRNA translation. However, recent findings suggest that ribosome composition and ...

Perhaps you’ve read in a biology textbook that humans have the same number of genes as C. elegans, a worm used in scientific research. Perhaps you’d also like to believe that humans are more complex ...

The Organismal and Evolutionary Biology (OEB) investigates the molecular basis and dynamics of the evolution of plants and animals, and their adaptation to stress and a changing climate. Research ...

Understanding organismal traits and learning how they evolve and adapt to different environments is crucial for biologists and the battle against biodiversity loss. To be truly efficient, however, the ...

Our rapidly changing world requires experts trained in global biodiversity and its conservation. The EEOB Option emphasizes organismal diversity, ecology, and evolution in courses with outdoor field ...

Lake Tanganyika in Africa is a true hotspot of organismal diversity. Approximately 240 species of cichlid fishes have evolved in this lake in less than 10 million years. A research team has ...
