a few seconds agoScientist Svante Paabo receives Nobel Prize for Medicine - What He Found
Periskopi(4 years ago)
(4 years ago)Swedish scientist Svante Paabo was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine this year for breaking down the Neanderthal genetic code, the most close to modern man. In a statement Monday, the Nobel Organisation said scientist Paabo is being honoured “for discovering a new approach to study our evolutionary history. ” 67-year-old Swedish [...]
Swedish 67-year-old overcame extreme technical challenges in dealing with fragile and ancient DNA samples to successfully ensure the genome sequence, the organisation said.
This was followed by its spectacular discovery of another missing species, Denisova, completely realised by the genome data taken from an exemplar of a small finger bone”, the statement said.
This discovery later concluded that Neanderthals and Denisovians were group sisters who broke apart about 600,000 years ago.
The Denisovane genes have been found at up to 6% of modern people in Asia and Southeast Asia, which shows that interaction has taken place there as well.
The work of scientist Paabo confirmed that the Homo Sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovians had interacted “during the period of co-existence”, which resulted in the inclusion of archaic DNA in people today. ”
Although Neanderthal bones were first discovered in the mid-19th century, only by breaking up Their DNA, scientists have been able to fully understand the connections between species.
This includes the time when modern people and Neanderthals split up as species, about 800,000 years ago, said Anna Wedwell, chairman of the Nobel Prize Committee.
“Paabo and his team also found that there had been genes passed from Neanderthals to Homo sapiens, which proves they had children together during their living periods,” she said.
This transfer of genes among species affects the way the immune system of modern humans reacts to infections, such as the coronary. People outside Africa have 1-2% of Neanderthal genes.
Prof. Paabo co-operates with the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, in Leipzig, Germany, and the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, in Okinawa, Japan.
The award for Medicine is the first of the five Nobels to be awarded this week, including the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. The price of economy is announced on October 10th. It is the only prize not created by Swedish inventor Alfred Nobel.
The official Nobel Prize ceremony will be held in December in Stockholm.
