This fusion event is a key evolutionary marker distinguishing humans from other great apes, as humans have 46 chromosomes while chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans possess 48. The fusion occurred through an end-to-end joining of two ancestral...
Ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) – also known as ancestral gene/sequence reconstruction/resurrection – is a technique used in the study of molecular evolution
We study mechanisms of cancer evolution by using state-of-the-art genomic approaches at the bench and in analysis. Accurate genome reconstruction is our other major area of interest. We also collaborate on important questions for which our expertise...

synorth.genereg.net - Genomic regulatory blocks are chromosomal regions spanned by long clusters of highly conserved noncoding elements devoted to long-range regulation of developmental genes, often immobilizing other, unrelated genes into long-lasting syntenic...
http://phylobabble.org/ - Welcome to phylobabble.org, a discussion forum for phylogenetic theory and applications. The primary goal of this forum is to discuss best practice and new developments in phylogenetics. Although we do have a Troubleshooting category for getting...
Is reference genome necessary for gene expression study in transcriptome sequencing or for variant discovery in genome sequencing?
70 per cent of emerging viral diseases such as HIV/AIDS, West Nile, Ebola, SARS, and influenza, are zoonoses - infections of animals that cross into humans.
