From Ocean to Land: The Fishy Origins of Our Hips
May 14, 2013 — New research has revealed that the evolution of the complex, weight-bearing hips of walking animals from the basic hips of fish was a much simpler process than previously ... > full story -
Oldest Fossil Hominin Ear Bones Ever Recovered: Discovery Could Yield Important Clues on Human Origins
May 13, 2013 — Anthropologists could shed new light on the earliest existence of humans. The study analyzed the tiny ear bones, the malleus, incus and stapes, from two species of early human ancestor in South ... > full storyMore: -
Four New Genetic Risk Factors for Testicular Cancer Identified
May 12, 2013 — A new study looking at the genomes of more than 13,000 men identified four new genetic variants associated with an increased risk of testicular cancer, the most commonly diagnosed type in young men ... > full story -
Genes Show One Big European Family
May 7, 2013 — From Ireland to the Balkans, Europeans are basically one big family, closely related to one another for the past thousand years, according to a new study of the DNA of people from across the ... > full story -
Fossil of Great Ape Sheds Light on Evolution
May 1, 2013 — An integrative anatomy expert says the shape of an 11.8-million-year-old specimen's pelvis indicates that it lived near the beginning of the great ape evolution, after the lesser apes had started to ... > full story -
Better Wheat Varieties in the Future? Wheat Genome Shows Resistance Genes Easy to Access
April 29, 2013 — Scientists have developed a physical map of wheat's wild ancestor, Aegilops tauschii, commonly called goatgrass. It's the first huge step toward sequencing the wheat genome -- a complete look at ... > full story -
Ancient DNA Reveals Europe's Dynamic Genetic History
April 23, 2013 — Ancient DNA recovered from a series of skeletons in central Germany up to 7,500 years old has been used to reconstruct the first detailed genetic history of modern ... > full story -
Ethnicity May Influence Antibody Genes: Immunity-Related DNA Sections Could Vary Depending on Ethnicity
April 18, 2013 — Cracking the DNA code for a complex region of the human genome has helped scientists chart new territory in immunity research. They have discovered that a good number of our antibody genes and, ... > full story -
Evolving Genes Lead to Evolving Genes: Selection in European Populations of Genes Regulated by FOXP2
April 18, 2013 — Researchers have designed a method that can universally test for evolutionary adaption, or positive (Darwinian) selection, in any chosen set of genes, using re-sequencing data such as that generated ... > full story -
Family Ties: Completion of Zebrafish Reference Genome Yields Strong Comparisons With Human Genome
April 17, 2013 — Researchers demonstrate today that 70 per cent of protein-coding human genes are related to genes found in the zebrafish and that 84 per cent of genes known to be associated with human disease have a ... > full story
