Researchers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center have discovered an overlooked mechanism driving aggressive breast and brain tumors ...

A new study links a particular gene to the ancient origins of spoken language, proposing that a protein variant found only in humans may have helped us communicate in a novel way. Speech allowed us to ...

Sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA) provides valuable insights into past ecosystems, yet its functional diversity has remained unexplored due to potential limitations in gene annotation for short-read ...

A new study suggests that the NOVA1 gene may have been a key player in the evolution of human language. By Carl Zimmer Scientists have long struggled to understand how human language evolved.

The course gives a comparative introduction on the size, structure and organisation of eukaryotic genes and genomes, and put an emphasis on the functional significance of a genomes organisation and ...

Recently, a number of studies have indicated that the 16S rRNA gene (which is found in the chloroplast genomes of eukaryotic phytoplankton, as well as in bacterial genomes) has a more constrained copy ...
