Paleogenetic study of ancient DNA suggestive of X-linked acrogigantism [PDF]
Dear Editor, Pituitary gigantism is caused by chronic growth hormone (GH) hypersecretion by a pituitary lesion before epiphyseal fusion. Genetic causes have been identified in nearly 50% of patients with pituitary gigantism, with germline mutations in the AIP gene being the most frequent cause (Rostomyan et al. 2015).

Demographic reconstruction from ancient DNA supports rapid extinction of the great auk
The great auk was once abundant and distributed across the North Atlantic. It is now extinct, having been heavily exploited for its eggs, meat, and feathers. We investigated the impact of human hunting on its demise by integrating genetic data, GPS-based

From craniometry to paleogenetics
French physical anthropology has persiste’d, longer than other countries, in measuring skulls and defining “races.” This tradition, developed in the 19th c. by the Société d’anthropologie de Paris and Paul Broca, continued until the 1980s with the work of Henri Victor Vallois and his school.

Genomic and archaeological evidence suggest a dual origin of domestic dogs [PDF]
The geographic and temporal origins of dogs remain controversial. We generated genetic sequences from 59 ancient dogs and a complete (28x) genome of a late Neolithic dog (dated to ~4800 calendar years before the present) from Ireland.
