The Human Genome Project revealed that only a small fraction of the 3 billion “letter” DNA code actually instructs cells to manufacture proteins, the workhorses of most life processes. This has raised the question of what the remaining part of the human genome does. How much of the rest performs other biological functions, and how much is merely residue of prior genetic events?

While it is well understood that the evolution of new genes leads to adaptations that help species survive, gene loss may also afford a selective advantage. A group of scientists has investigated this less-studied idea, carrying out the first systematic computational analysis to identify long-established genes that have been lost across millions of years of evolution leading to the human species. picked by AutumnLotus 10 months ago

The Discovery Channel put together this great site on the capabilities of the human body. It’s a really great learning experience because it’s fun, visually stimulating, and always highly interesting. This is the way media should be done! picked by doggylives 4 months ago

The idea of basic human rights is a relatively recent one. It grew in favor about the 18th century driven by a number of factors, the french and american revolution among them. Some say the birth of the novel is one of those forces that made be realize all humans has basic inalienable rights. picked by 2manyusernames 6 months ago

A team of Genographic researchers have published the most extensive survey to date of African mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). Analyses of the extensive data presented in this study provide surprising insights into the early demographic history of human populations before they moved out of Africa, illustrating that these early human populations were small and isolated from each other for many tens of th... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 6 months ago

Using supercomputers to compare portions of the human genome with those of other mammals, researchers at Cornell have discovered some 300 previously unidentified human genes, and found extensions of several hundred genes already known. The discovery is based on the idea that as organisms evolve, sections of genetic code that do something useful for the organism change in different ways. picked by AutumnLotus 11 months ago
