The Milner Centre for Evolution has three core objectives: to ask the big evolutionary questions, to find new technological and clinical research applications, and to take evolutionary research into the community.
Mammalian Sexual Dimorphism is Associated with Changes in Sizes of Brain Development Gene Families
Nature Communications Article: www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-50386-x
The Director of the Milner Centre for Evolution, Professor Turi King, talks to Dr Benjamin Padilla-Morales about the research paper he is first author on, and that has just been published in Nature Communications, titled: Sexual size dimorphism in mammals is associated with changes in the size of gene families related to brain development.
00:00 Introduction
00:29 What is sexual dimorphism?
01:48 What research question were you asking?
02:15 How and why has sexual size dimorphism evolved?
02:58 How did you research your question?
03:34 What did your study find?
04:59 Why are mammals that have a sexual size dimorphism investing more in olfactory functions?
06:11 Did you look at brain size in relation to mammal size?
07:37 What would you like to work on next?

DNA Day 2024 - Milner Centre for Evolution
มุมมอง 243 หลายเดือนก่อน
The 25th April is DNA Day, which celebrates the completion of the human genome sequencing project, and also the discovery of the double-helix structure of DNA. DNA is a molecule in our cells, which acts like an instruction manual for our bodies to grow, maintain themselves, and go on to make new little humans. A molecule of DNA looks like a ladder with a bit of a twist to it. Our DNA is made up...
