primatesculturetraditionapesevolutionClues to the origins of culture may lie in the diversity of behaviour seen in living large-brained creatures with complex cognition. Comparison across apes, monkeys and other species may help us to understand what is unique and universal about human culture and ...
It has always been expected that dosage compensation (DC) of X/Z gene expression between the sexes (Lyon, 1961), and with the autosomes, was critical for life (Nguyen and Disteche, 2006). Indeed, the imbalance in one sex of X and autosomal genes is fatal to human embryos and ...

Humans across cultures convey feelings and thoughts through music. Despite its ubiquity, the origins and evolution of music remain enigmatic. Archaeological evidence has traced the history of music back at least 40000 years ago based on prehistoric bone flutes (Fitch, 2006). Comparative studies have...
First, we identified MER53-derived miRNAs in known miRNAs and scanned the human genome for their paralogs. Next, the phylogenetic distribution and evolution dynamics of the miR-1302 family were analyzed. Finally, we investigated the functions of the predicted target genes and analyzed the over-...
One of the key genes that regulate human brain size, MCPH1 has evolved under strong Darwinian positive selection during the evolution of primates. During this evolution, the divergence of MCPH1 protein sequences among primates may have caused functional changes that contribute to brain enlargement. ...
Evolution of exon-intron structure of eukaryotic genes has been a matter of long-standing, intensive debate. The introns-early concept, later rebranded ‘introns first’ held that protein-coding genes were interrupted by numerous introns even at the earliest stages of life's evolution and that in...

Previously, we conducted virome surveys in China that have illustrated the eco- logical characteristics and evolution of viruses in ro- dents, bats, and other small animals [29–31]. In addition to the discovery of novel viruses, many other known vi- ruses were found in new hosts or ...
