Scientists study 155 new genes to see how humans continue to evolve
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
Nearly 7 million years ago, modern humans diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors, yet we have since continued to evolve. Within the human lineage, 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA have been discovered. A handful of these "microgenes" are projected

Study finds how humans continue to evolve with new genes
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Even though we diverged from our chimpanzee ancestors about 7 million years ago, we are still evolving today. The human lineage has 155 novel genes that spontaneously developed from little fragments of our DNA. Some of these novel "microgenes" are thought to be linked to diseases that are un

Research finds aging is driven by unbalanced genes
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
In a new study, Northwestern University researchers used artificial intelligence to analyze data from a wide variety of tissues, collected from humans, mice, rats and killifish. They discovered that the length of genes can explain most molecular-level changes that occur during aging.

Study: Feline genetics help pinpoint first-ever domestication of cats
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Nearly 10,000 years ago, humans settling in the Fertile Crescent, the areas of the Middle East surrounding the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, made the first switch from hunter-gatherers to farmers. They developed close bonds with the rodent-eating cats that conveniently served as ancient pest-
