Another Rasmus study, finding adaptation unique to a certain human population. This time it's diving:
Physiological and Genetic Adaptations to Diving in Sea Nomads Genetic and physiological adaptations enable the remarkable breath-holding ability of marine nomads.
Our paper on Alu exaptation in humans is out! see https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/15476286.2018.1429880

Analysis of Denisovan fragments in modern humans. Many conclusions are similar to the 2014 papers that did the same for Neanderthals
The combined landscape of Denisovan and Neanderthal ancestry in present-day humans Some present-day humans derive up to ~5% [] of their ancestry from archaic Denisovans, an even larger proportion than the ~2% from Neanderthals []. We developed methods that can disambiguate the locations of segments of Denisovan and Neanderthal ancestry ...

New paper from the lab is now online in PNAS. This project was led by our collaborator Lynne Maquat from University of Rochester Medical Center, and Eitan Lavi from the lab helped with many analyses. In the paper, we suggest that SINEs may independently get inserted into orthologous 3'UTRs in human and mouse. We show several cases that these SINEs participate in regulating gene expression by means of Staufen-mediated mRNA decay (SMD). This is a fine example of convergent evolution of SINE-directed SMD.

Funny. Large population size -> selection stronger than drift -> less diversity -> higher vulnerability -> extinction.
Natural selection shaped the rise and fall of passenger pigeon genomic diversity The now-extinct passenger pigeon used to be one of the most numerous vertebrates on Earth. Murray et al. examined the genomes of four passenger pigeon samples from different locales within its range. They describe the interplay between passenger pigeon population size, genome structure and recombina...

Now there are three kinds of orangutans
New ape found, sparking fears for its survival Researchers have identified a new species of orangutan in an isolated forest on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Fewer than 800 individuals remain, and the construction of a dam and road threaten the prime habitat of the ape. A combination of anatomical, ecological, and genetic data convinced resea...
