Find sheds light on relationship between elusive "Denisovans" and Neandertals
BigField GEG Tech's insight:
New record! Until now, the oldest human genome previously sequenced was aged of 70.000 to 80.000 years. Recently, Juan-Luis Arsuaga & al. have extracted and analyzed human DNA which is 400.000 years old. These investigations will provide certainly valuable data to better understand the Human phylogeny.

Scientists have identified thousands of regions in the genome that control the activity of genes for facial features
BigField GEG Tech's insight:
Another example of the complexity of gene interactions and regulations. More than 4,000 candidate enhancer sequences predicted to be active in the developing craniofacial complex!

Surprising discovery about the earliest diverging animal lineage.
Our most distant cousin is not Placozoa or Porifera (sponges) but Ctenophora!
