Researchers analyze the first-ever effectively sequenced the Pompeiian human genome

A study released this week in Scientific Reports presents the first effectively sequenced human genome from a person who perished in Pompeii, Italy, after Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 CE. Only limited lengths of mitochondrial DNA from human and animal remains from Pompeii had previously been sequenced.

Researchers take a deep dive into the genetic origins of mustelid physiological and behavioral range

Within the order Carnivora, Mustelids are the most ecologically and taxonomically varied family. They inhabit a range of natural niches, from the tayra in the tropics to the wolverine in the subarctic, and have developed species-specific features relating to their feeding, reproductive strategy, and shape.

Researchers identify gene mutation to have the potential to induce higher intelligence in humans

When genes mutate, serious diseases of the human nervous system can result. Scientists from Leipzig University and the University of Würzburg have now used fruit flies to show how, in addition to the negative impact, mutation of a neuronal gene can have a beneficial impact—higher IQ in humans.

Two new genomic studies provide insight into evolutionarily unique traits of cephalopods

Squid, octopus, and cuttlefish – even to scientists who study them – are wonderfully weird creatures. Known as the soft-bodied or coleoid cephalopods, they have the largest nervous system of any invertebrate, complex behaviors such as instantaneous camouflage, arms studded with dexterous suckers, and other evolutionarily unique traits.
