Researchers describe the evolution of various forms of the enzyme "dihydrofolate reductase" as it occurred from bacteria to humans. Their paper may prove useful to scientists in the design of future drugs and catalysts.

Effects of migrations, 'closed holdings' on DNA of Alpine peoples

Posted: 12 Dec 2013 06:58 AM PST

A genetic study sheds light on the history of the populations, indicating that the genetic make-up of human beings is a result of their biological evolution, which is also influenced by geographical and socio-cultural factors such as environmental features and marriage customs. This is the outcome of a study that reconstructed the genetic structure of the populations of the eastern Italian Alps on the basis of bio-molecular analyses.
