The death of a very special chimpanzee

Researchers at the Hebrew University ofJerusalem have succeeded in discovering and isolating a new proteinfrom the poplar tree with special structural and qualitativecharacteristics that could have consequences for development of futurenanocapsules for drug delivery to cancer cells.In addition to being obtained from plant tissue, the protein can nowalso be produced in large quantities as a...

Retrovirus struck ancestors of chimpanzees and gorillas millions of years ago, but did not affect ancestral humans

The ancestors of chimpanzees and gorillas were infected with a deadly retrovirus about three to four million years ago, but there is no evidence it infected ancestors of modern-day humans, according to research by genome scientists. The virus struck after humans had split off the evolutionary tree from primates, researchers said. The infection may have played a role in the evolution of such great...

Chimp genome reveals a retroviral invasion

It's been known for a long time that only 2% -- 3% of human DNA codes for proteins. Much of the rest of our genomes -- often referred to as junk DNA -- consists of retroelements: genomic elements that are transcribed into RNA, reverse-transcribed into DNA, and then reinserted into a new spot in the genome. Human endogenous retroviruses make up one class of these retroelements. Retroviruses can in...

Big differences in duplicated DNA distinguish chimp and human genomes

A study comparing the genomes of both humans and chimpanzees has found that much of the genetic difference between the two species came about in events called segmental duplications, in which segments of genetic code are copied many times in the genome. The study appears as a companion article to the draft sequence of the chimpanzee genome published in the Sept. 1 issue of the journal Nature....

Poaching, logging, and outbreaks of Ebola threaten central African gorillas and chimpanzees

Experts call for $30 million action plan to save mankind's closest relatives An action plan drafted by more than 70 primatologists and other experts who met in B...

Human Diseases May Have Clue In Human-Chimp Genome Difference

In a study by a researcher from University of California, San Diego, suggests that the clues of human diseases are found not in the similarity of the genome sequences between man and chimpanzee but the differences// in them. Researcher had described genetic differences between the species: one, the discovery of the first human-specific protein that is also expressed in brain cells asso...

Chimpanzee helps to unwind Human genetic diseases

DNA of chimps and humans share a 98% similarity and the small difference of 2% dissimilarity between chimps and humans can be used to find out the reasons for some of the genetic diseases which are prone to humans and not to chimpanzees//. Susceptibility to Malaria, Bacterial resistance and Progression of HIV to AIDS are main research areas which can be studied due to genetic differen...

Origin of HIV Traced To Wild Chimps

According to the study conducted by an international team of researchers it was found that HIV in wild chimpanzees in southern Cameroon. The researchers analyzed the feces sample collected// from the chimpanzee found from forest floors in Africa. They collected 599 fecal samples from 10 forest sites. They found that the simian immunodeficiency virus which affects the chimpanzees had a close resem...

Male Chimpanzees find Older Females Sexy

When it comes to mating, male chimpanzees have the opposite taste when compared to the males of one of their nearest biological species, human beings, //according to a study published Tuesday. Unlike human males who prefer younger mates, male chimpanzees like older females and turn up their nose at younger ones. The observation was reported in the journal, Current Biology, based on stu...

E. Coli Bacteria Migrating Between Humans, Chimps

Scientists from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana have found that people employed in chimpanzee-focused research and tourism// in a park in western Uganda are exchanging gastrointestinal bacteria – specifically Escherichia coli – with local chimpanzee populations. And some of the E. coli strains migrating to chimps are resistant to antibiotics used by humans in Uganda. Ot...
