[Life] The RNA World theory was proposed as a way to explain the origin of the DNA-RNA-Protein relationship found all current cells. It has been greatly strengthened by experimental work on ribozymes and non-enzymatic replication, and has become the most…
Horseshoe bats carrying coronaviruses very similar to the one that causes Covid-19 have been found outside China, so the pandemic may not necessarily have originated in the country, say scientists in a new study. It is likely that the virus…
Shotgun metagenomics sequences DNA collected from an entire community rather than from a single isolated organism. In soil, that means mixing genetic fragments from bacteria, fungi, plants, and other life forms. Researchers then need to determine where those fragments came…
Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown that zebrafish can provide genetic baz1b clues to the evolution of social behaviours in humans and domesticated species. The research, published in iScience, looked at genetically modified zebrafish that fail to make…
A review argues that zebrafish's extra round of whole genome duplication 350 million years ago created duplicated gene pairs whose joint study reveals how protein function, regulation, and disease mechanisms evolve.
