Fossil bone fish skeleton Genomic keys to the origin of vertebrates 26.02.2019

An international team of scientists reports how a more complex and specialised gene regulation was pivotal in the origin of vertebratesGenomic, epigenomic and gene expression data from several species provides keys about the functional changes giving rise to greater complexity in vertebratesResults shed light on how genomic duplications in the origin of vertebrates contributed to […]

Chimpanzee 25 genetic changes that could have extended human lifespan 12.02.2019

A new method enables to identify 25 parallel mutations located in genes associated with wound healing, blood coagulation and cardiovascular disorders.The research confirms that some genes that are beneficial in early stages of life are detrimental once the reproductive stage has ended.The results could help to develop new drugs to treat ageing-related diseases.
