Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. π¨π»βπ»π§¬#Mosquitoes began biting #humans more than a million years ago
They used #genetic data to reconstruct evolutionary history from mutation rates in their #genes. Researchers estimate when mosquitoes first bit humans and where β a submerged landmass called Sundaland, now Malay Peninsula, Borneo, Sumatra and Java. Leucosphyrus group was the first to adapt to bite humans, while other types of mosquitoes acquired preference only in the last 10,000 years

Scientific FrontlineBefore a cell can divide, its #genetic materialβtightly packed into a DNA-protein complex known as chromatinβmust be temporarily reorganized. This structural modification exposes specific starting points along the DNA, ensuring the cellular machinery can precisely duplicate the genetic information.

Tiny, 45 base long #RNA can make copies of itself
RNA, like its more famous relative DNA, can carry #genetic information. But it can also fold up into three-dimensional structures that act as catalysts. These two features have led to the suggestion that early life was protein-free, with RNA handling both heredity and catalyzing a simple metabolism.
Self-copying RNAs may have been a key stop along the pathway to life.
