"For the new study researchers used an even deeper genomic dive into primate DNA to show that the loss of about 10,000 bits of genetic information -- most as small as a few base pairs of DNA -- over the course of our evolutionary history differentiate
humans from chimpanzees, our closest primate relative. Some of those "deleted" pieces of genetic information are closely related to genes involved in neuronal and cognitive functions, including one associated with the formation of cells in the developing
brain.

These 10,000 missing pieces of DNA -- which are present in the genomes of other mammals -- are common to all humans, the Yale team found.

The fact that these genetic deletions became conserved in all humans, the authors say, attests to their evolutionary importance, suggesting that they conferred some biological advantage.

"Often we think new biological functions must require new pieces of DNA, but this work shows us that deleting genetic code can result in profound consequences for traits make us unique as a species," said Steven Reilly, an assistant professor of genetics
at Yale School of Medicine and senior author of the paper."

Hey. You look like a tech fan.
Have You looked the tool for getting faster webpages: superfastdatabase.000webhostapp.com/a.html
?

Thank You for attention.
