but there is a question over whether this is the same admixture event that gave us our Neanderthal ancestry.” The researchers therefore cross-referenced these ancient genomes with those of ...

thereby recreating the ancestral genome (Figure 3). In the near future, with the availability of additional vertebrate genomes (sequencing of the dog, marsupial, chicken, medaka, zebrafish ...

Scientists have traced the evolutionary origin of humans' outer ears to the gills of ancient fish through a series of ...

The genomes carried evidence of Neanderthal ancestry. Researchers determined that the ancestors of those early humans who lived in Ranis and the surrounding area likely encountered and made babies ...

An international team of geneticists, led by those from Trinity College Dublin, has joined forces with archaeologists from ...

The scientists compared various genetic sets to existing ancestral ones to establish the timeline and map of migration. For instance, they drew comparisons with the genomes of ancient Iranian ...

Researchers led by electrical engineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a better way to perform the ...

They applied the method — called "time-stratified ancestry analysis" using a statistical technique called Twigstats — to over 1,500 previously published genomes. This technique allowed the ...

Comprehensive discovery of genetic variation based on analysis of human genomes of diverse ancestry. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted ...

To assist their offspring in this endeavour, mother Cynipoidea wasps also squirt into the flies a mix of venom, viruses and ...

In our lab we aim to unravel the molecular changes underlying these major transitions by analysing genomic data with comparative genomics and phylogenetics. The reconstruction of ancestral genomes and ...
