In 2008, genetic research suggested that Ötzi’s maternal lineage was extinct. His mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) carried a rare signature never observed in any living person, leading researchers to ...
Recent advances have increased the number of bacteria, protists, fungi, and insects are known to science, making it difficult ...
It's long been assumed the Jomon people, who had inhabited the Japanese archipelago since around 16,000 years ago, had multiple lineages resulting from different migration routes. But new genetic ...
Domestic pig genes got diluted across generations but their rapid reproductive capacity persisted in hybrid hogs ...
Genetic data strengthens the case that humans first settled Sahul around 60,000 years ago, using multiple seafaring routes.
A research team has successfully demonstrated the world's first gene-editing treatment for Leber's hereditary optic ...
Highlights advancing clinical-stage pipeline, including two major value-creating programs for primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) with immune dysregulation and mtDNA-driven mitochondrial diseaseIntroduc ...
Recent mechanistic findings have shown that TK2 plays a large role in mtDNA maintenance, metabolic regulation, and relevance to TK2d. Among the deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs), dTTP is unique in ...
An analysis of bones from ancient people who once lived in Colombia has discovered DNA that does not directly connect them to any other ancient or modern population in South America. It is thought ...
In 1941, Nazi Germany seized control of Norway and its vital Vemork hydroelectric plant, the only facility in Europe capable of producing heavy water in large quantities. As Hitler’s forces tightened ...
One study reported 8 live births from 22 women with pathogenic mtDNA variants who underwent mitochondrial donation through pronuclear transfer. None had signs of mitochondrial disease and heteroplasmy ...
