Trodde att man gjorde insulin från grispancreas, tror det var så man började iaf. Så överhörde jag en föreläsning min dotter tittade på. Tydligen kan man mippla m DNAt i ecolibakterier o få dem at producera insulin. Typ så förstod jag det, får läsa på. Men ändå. Magi!

Most of us know that our traits can be inherited by DNA, but scientists have now found amyloid structures can have inheritable traits. Amyloid is normally associated with Alzheimers. Amyloids are extra proteins and have been found to contain structures that are able to replicate like that of DNA. One theory suggests that this may help to predict diseases that are not able to be predicted by DNA alone. popularmechanics.com/science/h

In 2006 a group of ancient graves were unearthed in Yeongdong-ri, Naju in the southwest of #Korea. One of the graves, a set of multigenerational 5th- to 6th-century burial chambers holding a family, yielded nine extremely well-preserved human skeletons. #DNA sequencing revealed shared mitochondrial heritage between the jointly-buried bodies, indicating a matrilineal family structure. The remains were also more closely related to humans in modern Kyushu, #Japan than modern Korean or older Japanese populations, hinting at exchanges and movement between the Naju and Kyushu regions. #history #archaeology

Fossil jawbone confirms mysterious human lived in East Asia
By Anna Salleh

An analysis of a jawbone found off the Taiwanese coast reveals it belonged to a Denisovan, a mysterious human species that contributed some genetic material to Indigenous Australians and people living in Asia today.

"After more than two decades of work, researchers have achieved a genetics milestone: they have successfully sequenced the complete genomes of six ape species, a feat that seemed impossible just a few years ago."

Berichte zeigen, dass Colossal Biosciences fossile #DNA-Reste mit dem Genom lebender #Grauwölfe kombiniert hat. Das Ergebnis sind hybride Tiere, deren Gene verändert wurden–ein Experiment, das weder die ursprüngliche Art, noch ihre ökologische Rolle wiederherstellt.Der #Schattenwolf starb vor über 10.000 Jahren aus,die Lücken in seinem Erbgut können nicht gefüllt werden.Das ist keine Rettung, sondern die Erschaffung eines künstlichen Wesens zum Zweck von Profit
