Lurking within the genomes of nearly all species--including plants, fungi, and even humans--are genes that are passed from generation to generation with no clear benefit to the organism. Called ...

Researchers at the Stowers Institute discovered how selfish genes manipulate inheritance by forming toxic protein clusters. These genes, found in yeast, evolve rapidly to outpace genetic suppression ...
