Our study, "Reconstruction of the human amylase locus reveals ancient duplications seeding modern-day variation," has just been published in Science. This thread will provide a brief overview of how gene duplications have shaped modern variation in the amylase locus.
A recent study published in @ScienceMagazine discovered that a surge in duplication of the amylase gene during human evolution shaped our adaptation to starchy foods and may have occurred more than 800,000 years ago, long before the advent of farming. Read more in this article…

Women lose >90% of their #eggs by their mid-30s, with persistent #DNADamage driving this loss. But why isn’t this damage repaired? Our new work in @CurrentBiology, led by @ninadini_sharma, reveals the causes of high DNA damage in aged oocytes.🧬💥 bit.ly/48e35Ee (1/13)
