UrduIn a recent article published in the journal Nature Communications, Binghamton University Assistant Professor of Biological Sciences Adam Session and Daniel S. Rokhsar, a professor of genetics, evolution and development at the University of California, Berkeley, outline a way to trace these genomes back to the polypoid hybrid’s parent species.

Genomes from 240 mammal species explain human disease risks
Research shows which regions have important functions in mammals, which genetic changes have led to specific characteristics in different species and which mutations can cause
Study compares de novo proteins with randomly produced proteins
Proteins are components of every cell. How they have changed in the course of evolution for the purpose of taking on new functions in the body, has long been a subject of research.
Decades-old crustaceans coaxed from lake mud give up genetic secrets revealing evolution in action
Human actions are changing the environment at an unprecedented rate. Plant and animal populations must try to keep up with these human-accelerated changes, often by trying to rapidly evolve tolerance to changing conditions.
Using paleogenomics to elucidate 10,000 years of immune system evolution
Scientists from the Institut Pasteur, Université Paris Cité, the CNRS and the Collège de France have used paleogenomics to trace 10,000 years of human immune system evolution.
Humans continue to evolve with the emergence of new genes
Modern humans evolutionarily split from our chimpanzee ancestors nearly 7 million years ago, yet we are continuing to evolve.
Ancient Viral Elements Embedded in Human Genome Not From Fossil Retrovirus
Using a next generation sequencing analysis to examine human endogenous retrovirus (HERV) integration sites, researchers from Kumamoto University, the National Institute of Genetics (Japan), and the University of Michigan (USA) have discovered that these ancient retroviruses can undergo retrotransposition (DNA sequence insertion with RNA mediation) into iPS cells.
