A discovery has provided significant insight into the overall genome structure of dinosaurs. By comparing the genomes of different species, chiefly birds and turtles, a research team was able to ...

May 21 (UPI) --Scientists can begin to imagine what a dinosaur's genome would look like under a microscope thanks to turtles and birds. By comparing the genomes of turtle and bird species, distant ...

Turtle shells evolved over the course of 300 million years, but self-defense wasn't the initial driver, researchers think.

The research was carried out in the laboratory of Professor Darren Griffin, of the University's School of Biosciences, and is now published in the journal Nature Communications. It involved ...
