Partnership with Kenya's Turkana community helps scientists discover genes involved in adaptation to desert living
Through a collaboration between U.S. and Kenyan researchers and Turkana communities of northern Kenya, scientists have uncovered key genetic adaptations underlying survival in hot and dry environments, revealing how natural selection has enabled this pastoralist population to thrive in a challenging landscape.
Genomic evolution of major malaria-transmitting mosquito species uncovered
New research into the genetics of Anopheles funestus (An. funestus), one of the most neglected but prolific malaria-transmitting mosquitoes in Africa, has revealed how this species is evolving in response to malaria control efforts.
Uptake of DNA fragments from dying cells could redefine mammalian evolution and genomics
For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer. This allows bacteria to rapidly evolve new traits, such as antibiotic resistance. A new study, led by Professor Indraneel Mittra at the Advanced Center for Treatment, Research & Education in Cancer, Mumbai, shows that this process may also happen in mammals—through fragments of DNA known as cell-free chromatin particles.
How Societal Living Shapes our Evolution – Genetically Wrapped
Of all the choices humanity could have made, of all the pathways humanity could have chosen, opting for a societal existence as our means to survive was inspired. Most obviously, it has worked – we are still in existence. By living together we have been better able to provide for each other - sustenance, shelter,…
