Trivedi @mihirisback.bsky.social et al. assemble & characterize 8 lemur species centromeres showing they do not contain α-satellites & have a different motif for each genus, pointing to their imperative role in lemur radiation. doi.org/10.64898/202... @uwgenome.bsky.social @hhmi-science.bsky.social

Using >130 human & 12 primate haplotypes, we reconstruct the chromosome 22q11.2 evolution to identify haplotype structures linked to deletions or inversions, explaining the lower prevalence of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome in individuals of African descent. @hhmi.org @uwgenome.bsky.social

This is a new image from #JWST. The bright points with spikes are stars in the Milky Way. Everything else is a galaxy. Everything. Else. Is. A. Galaxy.

New paper alert!! We investigate how such plethora of primate species in the awesome northeast India could have come about. Do read. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Historical Demography and Species Distribution Models Shed Light on Speciation in Primates of Northeast India

Northeast India's diverse geography has created numerous niches, promoting species evolution, with past climate change playing a significant role in primate speciation. Using climate modeling and gen...
