Human evolution - Brain Size, Adaptations, Fossils: Because more complete fossil heads than hands are available, it is easier to model increased brain size in parallel with the rich record of artifacts from the Paleolithic Period (c. 3.3 million to 10,00
Soil health is associated with higher primary productivity across Europe –Ferran Romero et al – Nature Ecology & Evolution Pathogen-driven Pseudomonas reshaped the phyllosphere microbiome in combination with Pseudostellaria heterophylla foliar disease resistance via the release of volatile organic compounds ...
Spurred by causal structure learning (CSL) ability to reveal the cause–effect connection, significant research efforts have been made to enhance the scalability of CSL algorithms in various artificial intelligence applications. However, less effort has
Galton was among the first to recognize the implications for humankind of the theory of evolution developed by Darwin. He saw that it invalidated much of contemporary theology and that it also opened possibilities for planned human betterment. Galton coined the word eugenics to denote scientific ...
populations, they can equate to substantial cost savings for the public health sector. This is pertinent in locations where the prevalence of mental ill health is particularly high (for example, in Europe7) and given that human well-being is a predictor of both life expectancy and mortality8,...

All but one SSL (89%) had the oncogenic BRAFV600E mutation; none of the three GCHPs harbored BRAF mutations, but two (67%) MVHPs did, consistent with MVHPs being SSLs in evolution. Neither APC nor KRAS mutations were detected in SSLs, and none of the ADs had BRAF mutations. ...
In particular, it is important to distinguish the driver genes that contribute to oncogenesis and cancer progression from the passengers acquired by random alterations during cancer evolution (2) and changes in gene activities that are the consequences, not causes, of cancer. To address this ...
our analysis also suggests a high grade of sequence similarity between these two NUDIX enzymes given their posterior probability score, which is close to 1, and their percent pairwise identity of 36% (Fig.1a). The related proteins NUDT12 and NUDT13, both containing the SQPWPFPxS sequence moti...
Ageing phenotypes, such as years lived in good health (healthspan), total years lived (lifespan), and survival until an exceptional old age (longevity), are of interest to us all but require exceptionally large sample sizes to study genetically. Here we
