Ancient Migration Shaped Yemen's Unique Genetic Makeup, Finds New Study
A detailed genetic analysis of Yemen has uncovered the region's complex migration history. By studying 46 Yemeni genomes, the research reveals significant genetic influences from East Africa, the Levant, and Arabia. Maternal DNA shows a marked African presence, with one-third of individuals carrying African-specific mitochondrial haplogroups, parti...

Study Reveals Genetic and Linguistic Roots of Indo-European Populations
A comprehensive study involving 91 researchers provides significant insights into the genetic and linguistic origins of Indo-European populations. It identifies two main migrations during the Bronze Age, with steppe ancestry spreading across Europe. The research also links specific populations like the Spanish, French, and Italian to Bell Beaker an...

17,000-Year-Old DNA of Ice Age Infant Reveals Dark Skin, Blue Eyes
Analysis of a 17,000-year-old infant’s remains from southern Italy sheds light on Ice Age ancestry and health. The infant, found in a Puglian cave, was likely around a year old at death and had distinctive traits—brown skin, blue eyes, and curly dark hair. His genome links him to Europe’s Villabruna lineage, suggesting their presence in south...

Genome Study Provides Important Insight on Endangered Vaquita Native to Mexico's Gulf of California
Genetic Assessment has provided new hope to save small tropical porpoise native to Mexico's Gulf of California with its population dwindling to about 10. Computational simulations performed by the researchers to predict extinction risk showed that vaquitas have a high chance of rebounding if fishing gillnets are completely eliminated from their hab...

Continuing Covid Outbreaks Due To Delta Variant: Genome Sequencing Panel
Continuing COVID-19 outbreaks across India are attributable to the Delta variant, a susceptible population and reduced vaccine effectiveness in blocking transmission, the INSACOG, a genome sequencing government consortium of laboratories, has said.
