Cave fossils in China reveal lives of mysterious human relatives
15+ hour, 9+ min ago (912+ words) Estimated read time: 7-8 minutes Archaeologists excavating a cave in southwestern China have unearthed fossilized remains that belonged to an enigmatic population of extinct hominins, revealing new details about their long-lost way of life. The new haul — which includes four teeth,…...
Chemists Craft a One-Handed Molecule That Disarms a Cell-Death Protein
5+ hour, 19+ min ago (661+ words) A single protein called BAX sits at the gateway between life and death for human cells. When tissues are injured, stressed, or deprived of oxygen, BAX springs into action, punching holes in the outer membrane of mitochondria and triggering the…...
Jumping Plant Lice Genome Study Rewrites the Family Tree of Triozidae
5+ hour, 26+ min ago (587+ words) A team of researchers in China has sequenced the first complete mitochondrial genome of the jumping plant louse Bactericera gobica and, by combining it with nearly every other Triozidae mitogenome available, assembled the most comprehensive genetic dataset ever compiled for…...
BenchHub Turns Computational Biology Benchmarking Into a Living,
6+ hour, 34+ min ago (618+ words) Every day, computational biologists release new methods for analyzing genomes, single cells, microbiomes and molecular signatures, and every day researchers struggle with the same question: which method actually works best for their data? The answer usually depends on benchmarks—structured…...
Proteomic Aging Clocks Enter the Clinic in Landmark Phase 2a Geroprotection
7+ hour, 38+ min ago (744+ words) For decades, the central obstacle to testing therapies that slow human aging has been painfully simple: aging takes decades to measure. A drug that genuinely delays the biological processes of aging would need years, often a lifetime, of follow-up before…...
Transposable Elements Drive the Birth of Vast Satellite DNA Repertoires in
7+ hour, 59+ min ago (597+ words) The genomes of true frogs have long puzzled geneticists. Amphibians are famous for carrying some of the largest and most repetitive genomes among vertebrates, and yet the detailed architecture of their repetitive DNA has remained poorly explored compared with mammals,…...
Epigenetic Age Tests Face Expert Backlash Over Reliability, Privacy and
7+ hour, 59+ min ago (68+ words) Aging has become a product. Across North America and Europe, companies now sell direct-to-consumer epigenetic tests that estimate a customer’s biological age from DNA methylation patterns, often bundled with supplements and lifestyle programs marketed as capable of slowing or even…...
Rare Italian Forest Herb Defies Expectations With Surprising Genetic
9+ hour, 35+ min ago (77+ words) Deep in the mountain forests of southern Italy, a rare blue-flowered herb has been quietly rewriting what scientists think they know about plant rarity. Aegonychon calabrum, a perennial understory herb restricted to a handful of sites in the southern Apennines,…...
DartUniFrac Brings Megascale Computing to Microbiome Diversity Analysis
10+ hour, 25+ min ago (512+ words) Researchers have introduced DartUniFrac, a new software tool designed to carry out UniFrac-based microbiome comparisons at a scale that was previously impractical....
New Rust Toolkit Supercharges Sex Determination Studies in Non-Model
10+ hour, 45+ min ago (628+ words) A new open-source software package promises to transform how biologists hunt for the genetic switches that separate males from females in species with no reference genome....
