The RE protein family, defined by DUF3411, is exclusive to plastid-containing organisms. This suggests an early evolutionary origin, potentially concurrent with the establishment of primary endosymbiosis. 🌍 #EvolutionaryBiology #ComparativeGenomics

A human-specific mutation weakens FasL, a key immune weapon against solid tumors. Blocking plasmin or shielding FasL restores cancer-fighting power. Evolution may have traded resilience for complexity. #CancerResearch #Immunotherapy #HumanEvolution #ComparativeGenomics

🐢Slow & steady strides to decoding longevity!🐢
Dovetail’s Omni-C tech helped scaffold T2T genomes of 2 tortoises, including Jonathan—the world’s oldest land animal (192 yrs).
Enabling:
-Structural variant mapping
-Repeat/telomere placement
-Context for methylation/expression

We identified novel human-biased genes and epigenetic signatures and further validated them using cortical organoids and MPRA data to generate a set of highly confident putative enhancers - paving the way for future functional studies of human brain development.

False positive rates in studies of gene birth/death dynamics are documented to be exceptionally high. If you just pull primary transcripts for 100 species & chuck it into CAFE pipeline, you're likely grossly overestimating lineage specific dyanmics #genomics #comparativegenomics #evolution
