TL;DR: It is shown that most present-day Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated populations: west European hunter-gatherers, who contributed ancestry to all Europeans but not to Near Easterners; ancient north Eurasians related to Upper Palaeolithic Siberians; and early European farmers, who were mainly of Near Eastern origin but also harboured west Europeanhunter-gatherer related ancestry.

TL;DR: It is shown that the great majority of present-day Europeans derive from at least three highly differentiated populations: West European Hunter-Gatherers (WHG), who contributed ancestry to all Europeans but not to Near Easterners; Ancient North Eurasians (ANE); and Early European Farmers (EEF), who were mainly of Near Eastern origin but also harbored WHG-related ancestry.

TL;DR: Experimental work on prokaryotic organisms suggests that drug-resistant mutant forms of an organism are likely to be less fit than their wild-type strains in the absence of selection, but that compensatory mutations may occur which restore the fitness of mutants to that of sensitive forms.

TL;DR: The postgenomic era has substantiated information on the specialized molecular machinery of gametocytogenesis and expedited the development of molecular tools to detect and quantify gametocytes, and opened up novel approaches and provided new insights into gametocyte biology.
