Genome study reveals prehistoric Ethiopian origins of coffee
Publicado em 16 abril 2024Researchers now have unlocked the genome of the Arabica species and traced its origins to a natural mating between two other coffee species an estimated 610,000 to one million years ago in the forests of Ethiopia. That makes this species older than our own species Homo sapiens, which arose in Africa about 300,000 years ago. The researchers sequenced the genomes of 39 Arabica varieties, including a specimen from the 18th century, to create the highest quality genome to date of this species, [...]ver notícia -
Coronavirus can transform pancreas cell function; certain genes may protect an infected person’s spouse
Publicado em 29 setembro 2021(Reuters) – The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that have yet to be certified by peer review. Coronavirus transforms pancreas cell function When the coronavirus infects cells, it not only impairs their activity but can also change their function, new findings suggest. For example, when insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas become infected with the virus, they not only [...]ver notícia -
An average of 15% of Brazilians have COVID-19 antibodies, study finds
Publicado em 26 maio 2021BRASILIA (Reuters) – An average of 15% of Brazil’s 210 million people have COVID-19 antibodies, researchers announced on Wednesday. The study, backed by the Sao Paulo state government’s research foundation (FAPESP) and Federal University of Sao Paulo (Unifesp), was conducted up to the end of April when contagion was on the rise. Researchers found that the level of antibodies varied greatly across the country. For example, in the northeastern state of Ceara, 9.89% of people [...]ver notícia
