Human cartilage holds a third of the cushioning sugars found in ape cartilage, even in the elbow, which apes load harder. Gene switches set before we split from Neanderthals may be why. #HumanEvolution #Osteoarthritis #Genetics www.anthropology.net/p/human-join...

The world's oldest dog has no pedigree.
There is a paradox hardly anyone addresses: "breed" is a recent concept, and the mixed-breed dog—which isn't a breed at all—is perhaps the closest thing to the original #dog. #ancientdna #newbook #genetics #ancienthistory #stem

Many genome editing approaches are limited by the size of #DNA changes they can make, a new approach, called prime assembly, allows long DNA fragments to be inserted into specific target positions.

🧬 A gene atlas from 17 mouse lines

Researchers built an atlas of over 1,000 brain samples from mice carrying autism risk genes, sorting them by how the genes actually behave rather than which mutation they carry.

"Brain cancer" or "H4 G34-mutant"? As knowledge about genetics advances, some doctors say cancers should be defined by their mutations, not the tissues where they manifest.
