So you think you know your ctenophores?
Think again!

Bezio et al. describe a new family of benthic ctenophores, based on #morphological and #genetic data. Read their findings in a new #OpenAccess paper in #JSE!

Before #cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their #chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of #genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that as division occurs, the #genome loses the distinctive 3D internal structure that it typically forms.

In a surprising discovery, scientists find tiny loops in the genomes of dividing cells

Enabled by a new high-resolution mapping technique, the findings overturn a long-held belief that the genome loses its 3D structure when cells divide.

Svante Pääbo, father of paleogenetics: ‘The reason for the Neanderthals’ extinction lies in how numerous we’ve become’.

The Nobel Prize winner in Medicine is investigating genetic changes that could have given our species a competitive advantage, and the possibility of extracting the genome of the Flores hobbit.
