Abstract

Two recent papers1,2 report extensive nuclear DNA sequence from a 38,000‐year‐old Neandertal fossil, comparing it to modern humans and estimating when it diverged from, and whether it contributed to, our gene pool. Based on 65,250 and over a million base‐pairs of sequence across the genome, respectively, the groups arrived at slightly different interpretations. The data are an exciting and interesting new contribution, but are not surprising, and a sense of history and question helps put them in perspective. BioEssays 29: 105–110, 2007.

A characteristic defect occurs in rat and human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) resulting in a loss of function of the vitamin K-dependent enzyme gamma-glutamyl-carboxylase in the tumor but not in the underlying liver. This causes the secretion of elevated levels of the immature or des-gamma-carboxyl

In plants the rate of endocytotic-like and exocytotic-like membrane exchange between the plasma membrane and an intracellular membrane reservoir depends upon a mechanical parameter, the tension of the plasma membrane. In this paper we discuss the relevance of this striking property to physiological

We have cloned a cDNA from chromosome band 17p13.3, designated as HCAP1 (HCC-associated protein 1, originally named HC56). Database searches revealed that HCAP1 shares most of its open reading frame with GEMIN4. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) screening revealed a high incidence of SNP in the c
