In the decades since its introduction, the neutral theory of evolution has become central to the study of evolution at the molecular level, in part because it provides a way to make strong ...

Aa Aa Aa Comparative genomics is a field of biological research in which the genome sequences of different species — human, mouse, and a wide variety of other organisms from bacteria to ...

The researchers found more than 50,000 homologous sections between the mouse and human genomes (many in introns and intergenic regions). They document extensive conserved synteny, finding hundreds of ...

Finally, the researchers wanted to determine whether the human NOVA1 impacted mouse behavior. They recorded the ultrasonic distress calls of mouse pups separated from their mothers and found subtle ...

In addition, the Drosophila and human genomes share substantial homology ... with a generation time ten times faster than the mouse. Further, fly models have now been developed for investigating a ...

While there are notable differences between mouse and human brains, many organizational principles remain conserved across species. The research focused upon a part of this region called the ...

The Knockout Mouse Phenotyping Program (KOMP2) sites at Baylor College of Medicine, Jackson Laboratory, and University of California, Davis, are collaborating with the International Mouse Phenotyping ...

An international research team has mapped the genomes of six ape species, revealing genetic distinctions that shed light on primate evolution. The study, published in Nature, provides a deeper ...

Phillippy of the National Human Genome Institute at the National Institutes of Health. The lead author is DongAhn Yoo, a postdoctoral fellow in the Eichler lab. "These ape genomes will enable us ...

Scientists can use these models to study how specific genes influence early development as well as to better understand developmental disorders and improve human ... team used mouse stem cells ...
