If you're studying genetics, molecular biology or a related field, odds are good that you will need to learn how to read a codon chart (aka codon table) to better understand the genetic code. This ...

“As animals are under evolutionary pressure to lose hair, the genes encoding hair become less important,” Clark said. “That’s why they speed up the rate of genetic changes that are permitted by ...

The development of hair was of central importance for the evolution of mammals and, thus, also of humans. However, the evolutionary origin of the genetic program of hair was previously unknown. An ...

Bamboo hair is a characteristic symptom of a genetic skin condition called Netherton Syndrome. This condition affects skin and hair, causing dry, scaly patches along with the distinctive bamboo hair.

New research from the University of Utah Health and the University of Pittsburgh has compared the genomes of 62 mammals, revealing new insights into how humans lost their body hair. The research was ...
