Genetic Analysis Reveals Family Sacrifices in 1,500-Year-Old Moche Tomb in Peru
A genetic study of a 1,500-year-old Moche tomb in Peru has revealed a unique sacrificial ritual involving family members. Two teenagers, one a boy sacrificed to his father and a girl to her aunt, were found buried alongside high-status individuals in a tomb at the Huaca Cao Viejo temple. This discovery, reported in PNAS, challenges previous assumpt...

IIT Delhi Study Reveals Mechanisms Driving SARS-CoV-2 Evolution In Humans
According to the seven-member research team, CpG (a cytosine followed by a guanine) numbers in virus genomes have been linked to host-switching, the efficiency of virus replication, immune evasion and the ability of a virus to cause disease.

First Complete Human Genome Sequence Published, Filling In Gaps of Previous Efforts
Researchers in 2003 unveiled what was then billed as the complete sequence of the human genome. But about 8 percent of it had not been fully deciphered, mainly because it consisted of highly repetitive chunks of DNA that were difficult to mesh with the rest.

Scientists Have Finally Mapped The Whole Human Genome
Scientists on Thursday published the first complete human genome, filling in gaps remaining after previous efforts while offering new promise in the search for clues regarding disease-causing mutations and genetic variation.

Regular Booster Vaccines Future In Covid Battle: UK Expert
Regular booster vaccines against the novel coronavirus will be needed because of mutations that make it more transmissible and better able to evade human immunity, the head of Britain's effort to sequence the virus's genomes told Reuters.
