To better understand the evolution of land plants, researchers looked at the DNA of two species of algae. Why algae? Well, because land plants evolved from this green goo. For their study, the team focused on a group of algae known to be the closest living relatives of land plants. The ...

A team of scientists at Colossal plan to use information from mammoth3to edit the DNA of Asian elephants — their closest living relatives. The team will focus on DNA that is linked to bushy hair and other4for cold weather. These were what helped mammoths survive on the Arctic steppe — ...
DNA comparisons have shown that green algae are plants’ closest living relatives. In addition, other lines of evidence support the hypothesis that land plants evolved from ancestral green algae used the same type of chlorophyll and accessory pigments in photosynthesis as do land plants. This would...

The enzymatic activity of EroS is required for this function • Chondroitin sulfate, the EroS substrate, evolved before the origin of animals Summary We serendipitously discovered that the marine bacteriumVibrio fischeriinduces sexual reproduction in one of the closest living relatives of animals, the...

Bonobos are one of our closest living relatives. They are less studied than chimpanzees, but are known to be more peaceful, says Surbeck. To learn more about interactions between groups, Surbeck and Samuni observed 31 adult bonobo s from two social groups in Congo over a two-year period....
