Fossilized genes
A turtle time capsule: DNA found in ancient shell
September 28, 2023
Paleontologists discover possible DNA remains in fossil turtle that lived 6 million years ago in Panama, where continents collide
Scientist
Owen McMillan
I am broadly interested in the genetics of adaptation and speciation. How do new species form? How does adaptive variation arise and spread? How is morphological variation created through development and modified by natural selection? Is evolution predictable?
