About sixty percent of the genomes of human beings and bananas are similar. So does that mean we are bananas? Well, no - only in a figurative sense. The regulation of gene expression is essential to ...
New genomic research suggests our species descended from a deep fusion between two ancient lineages — one of them a mysterious “ghost.” ...
