| A recent study published in Science on November 14, provides new insights into the parallel migration patterns of dogs and humans across Eastern Eurasia during the Holocene. Through analysis of 73 ancient dog genomes—including 17 newly sequenced specimens—the research demonstrates how canine ancestry shifts correlate with major human migrations over the past 10,000 years.Prof. WANG Guo-Dong f... more |

| Gibbons, the small apes closely related to humans, face severe threats to their survival, yet many aspects of their evolution have remained unclear due to their rapid diversification. A comprehensive genomic analysis of gibbons has resolved key debates about their evolutionary history while providing critical insights for conservation efforts. The study, led by Prof. WU Dong-Dong from the Kunmi... more |

| A research team at the Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has successfully created the world’s first primate model of Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T), a rare and devastating childhood neurodegenerative disorder. The breakthrough study was published today in Cell Reports Medicine.A-T is caused by mutations in the ATM gene and affects multiple body systems. Children with A-T ... more |
