Speciation and inversions: chimps and humans.
A new set of models has resurrected a role for chromosomal inversions in the formation of new species. Traditional models, which are generally considered to be unlikely in most cases, had imagined that inversions might aid speciation by directly causing low hybrid fitness. In contrast, the newer models focus on the effect that inversions have on local recombination rates. A test of these models...
متن کاملChimps, Humans, and the Hominid Struggle against Viruses
When a virus infects a cell in our bodies, rather than letting the incubus lie hidden, the cell displays tiny fragments of viral proteins on the cell surface. These peptide snips are neatly presented in a snugly fitting groove on molecular display stands called major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs). Here, roaming T cells from the immune system are free to probe the MHCs and see if their rec...
متن کاملA DNA Recombination “Hotspot” in Humans Is Missing in Chimps
It's no surprise that the Amazonian rainforest contains far more species than, say, the Siberian tundra. Over 50% of the world's species live in tropical rainforests, which cover just 6% to 7% of the earth's terrestrial surface. That the number of marine and terrestrial species declines with distance from the equator is a well-documented phenomenon called the latitudinal species diversity gradi...
متن کاملEvolution: Natural Selection in the Evolution of Humans and Chimps
We now have more or less full sequences of both human and chimp genomes, allowing comparison that sheds light on their evolution. A few hundred genes show significant evidence for adaptive evolution in the two lineages, but the actual number might be much higher. Natural selection has eliminated about 75% of amino acid changes in coding sequence since the split of the human and chimpanzee genomes.
متن کاملAnxiolytic-like Effect of Testosterone in Male Rats: GABAC Receptors Are Not Involved
Objective(s) The effect of testosterone on anxiety-like behaviors has been the subject of some studies. There is evidence that testosterone modulates anxiety via GABA (gama aminobutyric acid) and GABAergic system. The involvement of GABAC receptors in those effects of testosterone on anxiety-like behaviors of the rats was investigated in the present study. Materials and Methods A group of ra...
