  1. What selective forces first enabled protocells to evolve functional coding sequences? This study shows that genetic #heredity could only originate once #protocells achieved sufficient metabolic capacity, so growth had to precede information @PLOSBiology plos.io/3Py9uFl

  2. `All had approximately 60% ancestry related to East Asians and 40% to Papuans, similar to present-day Palauans, the longest stretch of population continuity anywhere in Remote Oceania. The lengths of contiguous Papuan ancestry segments in the oldest individuals show that major admixture between Papuans and East Asians in the ancestors of all sampled Palauans began prior to first settlement.`

  4. @reiddragon @wyatt Because missing a rib is genetic, not Lamarckian, Adam's descendants had the full number of ribs. Also, it's a running theme throughout that part of The Bible that a being's life is in its blood, and blood is made in the bones. So if I had to guess, the ribcage must have been the most convenient place for God to get a bone marrow sample out of Adam at the time.

  5. A quotation from Thomas Paine

    Because a body of men holding themselves accountable to nobody, ought not to be trusted by anybody.

  10. Fine mapping of the Cepaea 🐌 shell colour and mid-banded loci using a high-density linkage 🧬 map, new paper out today in Heredity 🎺🥂 Nothing is ever straightforward in snail genomics! Culmination of much work by PhD student Maggie Johansen. Open access: doi.org/10.1038/s41437-023-006.

  11. Discoveries made possible by Gregor Mendel, the father of modern #genetics, proposed that each offspring receives 23 chromosomes from Mom and 23 matching chromosomes from Dad.

    Until just a few decades ago, that was thought to be the whole 50-50 equation of #heredity.

    But now we know it’s a lot more complicated. The writer unravels the #DNA to reveal who you really are (or at least what you cold be).

I am one of many examples of #heredity and #environment. Only the best and the worst get the most attention. #IntroductuonContinued
