The Genomic Formation of South and Central Asia

Vagheesh M. Narasimhan, +104 more
- 31 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: The results show how ancestry from the Steppe genetically linked Europe and South Asia in the Bronze Age, and identifies the populations that almost certainly were responsible for spreading Indo-European languages across much of Eurasia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preparation and photophysical properties of halogenated silicon(IV) phthalocyanines substituted axially with poly(ethylene glycol) chains

TL;DR: A series of silicon(IV) phthalocyanines with two axial poly(ethylene glycol) chains SiPcX 8 [(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n OCH 3 ] 2 (X=H, Cl, Br; n ≈16) have been prepared of which the photosensitizing properties are enhanced as the periphery of the macrocycle is substituted with heavier halogens as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

The evolutionary history of Neanderthal and Denisovan Y chromosomes

TL;DR: Comparisons with available archaic and diverse modern human Y chromosomes indicated that, similar to the maternally inherited mitochondria, the human and Neanderthal Y chromosomes were more closely related to each other compared with the Denisovan Y chromosome, which supports the conclusion that interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals and selection replaced the more ancient Denisovian-like Y chromosome and mitochondria in Neanderthal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opsins in Onychophora (Velvet Worms) Suggest a Single Origin and Subsequent Diversification of Visual Pigments in Arthropods

TL;DR: It is concluded that the diversification of visual pigments and color vision evolved in arthropods, along with the evolution of compound eyes-one of the most sophisticated visual systems known.
Journal ArticleDOI

Statistics of single molecule SERS signals: is there a Poisson distribution of intensities?

TL;DR: It is shown theoretically and experimentally that the conditions under which a Poisson distribution would be present are so unlikely to exist in a real system that there is no other option but to attribute the claims to poor statistical sampling.
