  1. 1. Human demographic history : Insights on the human past based on genomes from Southern through Central Africa

    Författare :Gwenna Breton; Mattias Jakobsson; Carina Schlebusch; Per Sjödin; Paul Verdu; David Comas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :high-coverage genomes; Sub-Saharan Africa; demography; genetic admixture; population genetics; human evolutionary genetics; Khoe-San; rainforest hunter-gatherers; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Evidence from paleontology, archaeology and population genetics support that modern humans originated in Africa. While the out-of-Africa event and subsequent colonization of all continents are well documented, human history in Africa at that time and before is less studied. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Where our feet have taken us : Examples of human contact, migration, and adaptation as revealed by ancient DNA

    Författare :Alexandra Coutinho; Mattias Jakobsson; Helena Malmström; Carina Schlebusch; Tom Gilbert; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human demography; migration; adaptation; human contact; ancient DNA; human evolution; African prehistory; Scandinavian prehistory; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

    Sammanfattning : In spite of our extensive knowledge of the human past, certain key questions remain to be answered about human prehistory. One involves the nature of cultural change in material culture through time from the perspective of how different ancient human groups interacted with one another. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Mitochondria and Human Evolution

    Författare :Max Ingman; Ulf Gyllensten; Peter Underhill; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; mitochondria; hominidae; human evolution; population genetics; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Genetics; genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been a potent tool in studies of the evolution of modern humans, human migrations and the dynamics of human populations over time. The popularity of this cytoplasmic genome has largely been due to its clonal inheritance (in Man) allowing the tracing of a direct genetic line. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Divergence, admixture and continuity in the human past : Demographic inference using ancient and modern genomes

    Författare :James McKenna; Mattias Jakobsson; Per Sjödin; Ida Moltke; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Human evolution; population genetics; ancient genomes; population continuity; divergence; Biology with Specialisation in Human Evolution and Genetics; Biologi med inriktning mot människans evolution och genetik;

    Sammanfattning : Demographic forces shaping the genetic variation we observe today can include population divergences, admixture events and continuity through time. The advancement of high-throughput sequencing technologies, together with developments in molecular and bio-informatics methods, mean the number of ancient genomes available for inference has risen steeply.

  7. 5. The Membrane Proteome : Evolution, Characteristics and Classification

    Författare :Markus Sällman Almén; Helgi Schiöth; Robert Fredriksson; Marc Robinson-Rechavi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Membrane proteins; Membrane proteome; molecular evolution; GPCRs; Dispanins; IFITM; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Sammanfattning : Membrane proteins are found in all kingdoms of life and are essential for cellular interactions with the environment. Although a large research effort have been put into this group many membrane proteins remains uncharacterized, both in terms of function and evolutionary history. LÄS MER
