A rare diagnosis in the operation room: Kidney atrophy due to duplicated colon in an adult
Gastrointestinal congenital anomalies are rare entities in an adult patient.

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.
