Chimpanzee facial gestures and the implications for the evolution of language [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Great ape manual gestures are described as communicative, flexible, intentional, and goal-oriented. These gestures are thought to be an evolutionary pre-cursor to human language. Conversely, facial expressions are thought to be inflexible, automatic, and

Unexplored Archaeal Diversity in the Great Ape Gut Microbiome

mSphere, 2017
Archaea are habitual residents of the human gut flora but are detected at substantially lower frequencies than bacteria. Previous studies have indicated that each human harbors very few archaeal species.

Evaluating Self-Directed Behaviours and Their Association with Emotional Arousal across Two Cognitive Tasks in Bonobos (Pan paniscus)

Animals, 2022
Self-directed behaviours (SDBs) are widely used as markers of emotional arousal in primates, and are commonly linked to negative arousal, or are used as indicators of stress or poor welfare. However, recent studies suggest that not all SDBs have the same

Structural basis of the complementary activity of two ketosynthases in aryl polyene biosynthesis

Scientific Reports, 2021
Aryl polyenes (APE) are one of the most widespread secondary metabolites among gram-negative bacteria. In Acinetobacter baumannii, strains belonging to the virulent global clone 2 (GC2) mostly contain APE biosynthesis genes; its relevance in elevated ...

PhaseDancer: a novel targeted assembler of segmental duplications unravels the complexity of the human chromosome 2 fusion going from 48 to 46 chromosomes in hominin evolution

Genome Biology, 2023
Resolving complex genomic regions rich in segmental duplications (SDs) is challenging due to the high error rate of long-read sequencing. Here, we describe a targeted approach with a novel genome assembler PhaseDancer that extends SD-rich regions of ...
