The New World screwworm is making a dangerous comeback. Now, scientists have decoded its genome—a breakthrough that could slow and stop its spread.

Characterizing how mutations bring about phenotypic changes is a common strategy for identifying molecular underpinnings. A perspective article in GENETICS challenges the way researchers categorize mutations as gain-of-function and advises how to avoid misleading labeling.

Interviews from newly appointed faculty members shed light on the path to landing a faculty position.

Moisés Expósito-Alonso, recipient of the 2026 GSA Early Career Medal, orchestrated an elaborate, multi-site evolution experiment to understand how plants evolve—or fail to adapt—and may be at risk when faced with rapid environmental changes.

Researchers show that the key to helping crops withstand shifting conditions may lie in balancing speed with flexibility.
