genetic influx from Central Asia in the Bronze Age was strongly male-driven, consistent with the patriarchal, patrilocal and patrilineal social structure attributed to the inferred pastoralist early Indo-European society. This was part of a
Throughout the early years of advocacy for the HGP (mid- to late 1980s) perhaps 80% of biologists were against it, as was the National Institutes of Health (NIH) [6]. The US Department of Energy (DOE) initially pushed for the HGP, partly using the argument that knowing the genome ...
The first pregnancy test, the rabbit test, was formulated [2,3] in the 1920s. For four decades bioassays such as the rabbit test were the only practical way to measure hCG or detect pregnancy. In 1960 with the development of polyclonal antibodies came the agglutination inhibition test [4]....
sequences, topped the list of TcGT-driving ERV promoters in the oocyte (Fig.1A, Supplementary Table1). Also standing out were the MaLR-derived THE1D, MLT1D, THE1C and THE1B LTRs, also previously identified as prominent TcGT drivers in mouse early embryos [7,59]. In this single-...
Hence, the reconstruction of the population structure of this species may be an indirect way of assessing its main host's (Homo sapiens sapiens) migratory and demographic history [14]. Indeed, tuberculosis may have affected early hominids and it is tempting to speculate that the MTC originated ...
Given this, the human brain would have been a tremendous metabolic liability that must have been advantageously tempered by the early cellular and molecular changes of AD which begin to accumulate in all humans during early adulthood. Before the recent lengthening of life span, individuals in the ...
early on in the symbiosis, but ultimately engaged in a mutualistic relationship with theSymbiodiniumphylotype that was also dominant in the parental colonies [36]. As this specificity was observed regardless of the environmental conditions, it brings into question the adaptability of the octocoral-...

[46,47]. Diversification within Neoaves seems to have occurred rapidly, with very short internal nodes in the basal part of the Neoaves tree [45,48]. One of these early offshoots within Neoaves was the order Passeriformes, to which zebra finch belongs. These birds typically have small ...
