In an effort to find out what happened here, which they must do before they can begin to colonise the planet, they resurrect a human being, bringing the planet’s apex predator back from extinction. He and his team recently inscribed the complete human genome — which involves describing all three billion base pairs of DNA — onto a nanostructured or …

Raw Story  

The recently updated South African Ethics in Health Research Guidelines have been a recent cause of concern, with some researchers and bioethicists interpreting them as allowing what’s known as heritable human genome editing. Rather than allowing heritable human genome editing, the guidelines acknowledge the reality that South African law already allows human genome editing. That this was the purpose is …

Thanks to two special genes, a single atom can change the colour of a bird

Across the animal kingdom, birds are some of the most colourful creatures of all. Nearly all birds with bright red, orange, and yellow feathers or bills use a group of pigments called carotenoids to produce their colours. Scientists found the ALDH3A2 enzyme also explains colour variation in many other species of parrots which have independently evolved yellow-to-red colour variation. Most …

Stoneflies' Color Change Offers Clues to the Impact of Deforestation on Evolution

The Hindu  

Stoneflies' ability to change color in response to deforestation suggests that humans can alter evolution. The black stonefly, known as Austroperla, evolved to mimic the warning colors of a highly toxic species, Zelandoperla, due to deforestation. This case provides a new textbook example of human-driven evolution in the wild. The study also reveals that genetic change can be predictable, offering …

Hindustan Times  

DNA elements known as transposons play a vital role in early human development, rather than our genes. Researchers discovered that these elements are essential for ensuring that human embryonic cells progress normally through early development, rather than going back in time. LINE-1 elements, in particular, are critical for this process, as they help move chromosome 19 to a gene-silencing region …
