Chickens treated to inhibit the sonic hedgehog (Shh) pathway during development grow feathers that resemble ancient ...

Feathers may have started as simple filaments in ancient dinosaurs, but a team of Swiss researchers is digging deep into the ...

Oviraptorosaurs are weird dinosaurs that look a bit like flightless birds. But these ancient animals aren't just ...

Scientists have successfully genetically modified chickens to make their feathers resemble those of dinosaurs. This study is part of a broader effort to understand how and why feathers evolved.

Researchers inhibited a gene during embryonic development in chickens to see if it would make their feathers look like those of dinosaurs. Here, we see feather buds on the 12th day of incubation.

Known as the Bayanshiree Formation, this area is a hotspot for dinosaur fossils, thanks to its arid conditions and layers of ...

scientists have managed to make chicken feathers more similar to the tubular proto-feathers that probably first appeared in the ancestors of dinosaurs in the early Triassic period 250 million years ...
