Scientists analysed thousands of animal genomes and found hidden “evolutionary highways” stretching back 600 million years

Scientists have traced hidden pathways through animal evolution by comparing thousands of genomes and following pieces of chromosomes that have survived for hundreds of millions of years. The study examined 5,821 chromosome-scale genomes from 4,454 species across 19 animal phyla, using 29 ancient linkage groups as markers of chromosome history. Every one of the 406 … Read more

US scientists analysed 55 storm and atmospheric variables to identify hurricane rapid intensification; Atlantic communities could receive warnings as much as five days ahead

US scientists analysed 55 storm and atmospheric variables to identify hurricane rapid intensification; Atlantic communities could receive warnings as much as five days ahead

New method flags hurricane rapid intensification up to five days ahead Coastal communities across the Atlantic could soon receive life-saving warnings up to five days before a hurricane rapidly strengthens, after atmospheric scientists developed a statistical tool that analyses 55 environmental and storm-related factors.Led by researchers at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for … Read more
