Anthropology

Researchers have sequenced the genome of an archaic Siberian girl 31 times over, using a new method that amplifies single strands of DNA.
More than 99% of the nucleotides are sequenced at least 10 times, so researchers have as sharp a picture of this ancient genome as of a living person’s.
That precision allows the team to compare the nuclear genome of this girl, who lived in Siberia’s Denisova Cave more than 50,000 years ago, directly to the genomes of living people, producing a (...)

Chromatin Insulators
Definition: Insulators are DNA sequence elements that prevent inappropriate interactions between adjacent chromatin domains.
One type of insulator establishes domains that separate enhancers and promoters to block their interaction, whereas a second type creates a barrier against the spread of heterochromatin.
The mechanisms of action of both enhancer blockers and barriers might not be unique to these types of element, but instead are adaptations of other (...)
