| 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 Guodong fro... 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. Dong-Dong Wu 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 |

| A growing number of studies link gut microbiota to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Host diet and macronutrients are key mediators that link the interactions between host and gut microbiota. Circulating palmitic acid (PA) primarily originates from diet and endogenous synthesis, and elevated level is typically correlated with an increased risk of CVD. However, it is unknown if gut microbiota modula... more |
