EurekAlert!Papua New Guinea's genetic past through ancient DNA analysisIn the rugged landscapes of Papua New Guinea—where more than 800 languages echo across valleys and coasts—a remarkable discovery has brought new clarity to one of humanity’s greatest migrations. In a new study, researchers led by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig have recovered the first ancient genomes (aDNA) from Papua New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago—unlocking genetic insights from a region as culturally rich as it is historically pivotal.

Viking age DNA reveals 9,000-year-old HIV-resistant gene originating near the Black Sea
A recent study published last year in the journal Cell has identified the ancient origins of a genetic mutation that confers resistance to HIV, and how it first appeared in an individual who lived near the Black Sea between 6,700 and 9,000 years ago...

#AncientDNA used to map #evolution of fever-causing #bacteria
EurekAlert!Ancient DNA used to map evolution of fever-causing bacteriaResearchers at the Francis Crick Institute and UCL have analysed ancient DNA from Borrelia recurrentis, a type of bacteria that causes relapsing fever, pinpointing when it evolved to spread through lice rather than ticks, and how it gained and lost genes in the process.

#LeonardoDaVinci’s DNA: In new book, researchers announce breakthrough confirmation of Y chromosome shared by six living family descendants
Ancient Da Vinci family tomb: excavated remains undergo analysis
EurekAlert!Leonardo da Vinci’s DNA: In new book, researchers announce breakthrough confirmation of Y chromosome shared by six living family descendantsA new book. Genìa Da Vinci. unveils a breakthrough finding by the Leonardo da Vinci DNA Project: The Y chromosome shared by six male-line descendants of his family living in Italy today. The discovery paves the way for DNA comparisons with remains recently excavated from an ancient Da Vinci family tomb, as well as comparisons with biological material attributed to Leonardo and potential traces of DNA left on his work. Published with support from the Richard Lounsbery Foundation, the book presents genealogical research idenitfying more than 400 individuals across 21 generations. The book deepens knowledge of his maternal origins, properties, and legacy and presents for the first time a study hypothesizing that a "unicorn dragon" chalk drawing found in Vinci was done by Leonardo.
