TEDEd AnimationLet’s Begin… Your genome, every human's genome, consists of a unique DNA sequence of A's, T's, C's and G's that tell your cells how to operate. Thanks to technological advances, scientists are now able to know the sequence of letters that makes up an individual gen...

When a rare variant sequence is advantageous, however, it will be rapidly propagated by natural selection. Consequently, it can be expected that in any given species the functions of most genes will have been optimized by random point mutation and selection. According to the book "Evolution," ...
especially when coupled with Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM) (Fig.2b, c). NGS is often referred to as massively parallel sequencing. Various NGS techniques enable the determination of nucleotide sequences in
Moshe Szyf's research is focused on understanding the broad implications of epigenetic mechanisms in human behavior, health and disease. About TEDx TEDx was created in the spirit of TED's mission, "ideas worth spreading." It supports independent organizers who want to ...
If you looked at how long it took for a particular sequence of mtDNA to develop a change — a mutation — and concluded that it took 1,000 years, then two strains of mtDNA from the same lineage with two mutations would have diverged about 2,000 years ago, right? This is how Cann ...
