EurekAlert!Papua New Guinea's genetic past through ancient DNA analysisIn the rugged landscapes of Papua New Guinea—where more than 800 languages echo across valleys and coasts—a remarkable discovery has brought new clarity to one of humanity’s greatest migrations. In a new study, researchers led by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig have recovered the first ancient genomes (aDNA) from Papua New Guinea and the Bismarck Archipelago—unlocking genetic insights from a region as culturally rich as it is historically pivotal.

EurekAlert!Leonardo da Vinci’s DNA: In new book, researchers announce breakthrough confirmation of Y chromosome shared by six living family descendantsA new book. Genìa Da Vinci. unveils a breakthrough finding by the Leonardo da Vinci DNA Project: The Y chromosome shared by six male-line descendants of his family living in Italy today. The discovery paves the way for DNA comparisons with remains recently excavated from an ancient Da Vinci family tomb, as well as comparisons with biological material attributed to Leonardo and potential traces of DNA left on his work. Published with support from the Richard Lounsbery Foundation, the book presents genealogical research idenitfying more than 400 individuals across 21 generations. The book deepens knowledge of his maternal origins, properties, and legacy and presents for the first time a study hypothesizing that a "unicorn dragon" chalk drawing found in Vinci was done by Leonardo.

#23andMe Sale Shows Your #Genetic Data Is Worth $17
23andMe sold genetic data of 15M people for $256M to a #pharmaceutical #Regeneron. 23andMe does not perform full genome sequences. It instead does #DNA #genotyping, which look at parts of #genome that vary from person to person.
Sale to Regeneron means #gene data collected by 23andMe will be used for development of new #drugs, which felt like the most likely and perhaps best-case scenario for the company’s bankruptcy.
