Scientists release the first complete sequence of a human Y chromosome - The Jerusalem Post

health

Males who feel they are misunderstood – by their wives or all women in the world – can now heave a sigh of relief. For decades, the Y chromosome – one of the two human sex chromosomes – has been notoriously challenging for the genomics community to sequence due to the complexity of its structure.Now, this elusive area of the genome has been fully sequenced, an accomplishment that finally completes the set of end-to-end human chromosomes and adds 30 million new bases to the human genome reference – mostly from hard-to-sequence satellite DNA. These bases reveal 41 additional protein-coding genes and provide vital insight for those studying important questions related to reproduction, evolution, and population change.Researchers from ...

Can children recognize sick people's faces? - study

health

Infectious diseases are still a leading cause of death among children around the world and they are more likely than adults to contract such illnesses because of crowding at home or in school.But there has hardly been any serious into measuring children’s responses to sick faces and understanding how youngsters’ ability to recognize and avoid sickness develops to help protect them. Previous research has found only that adults can use faces to recognize if someone is sick and decide whether to approach or avoid them. Researchers from the University of Miami in Florida; Chinese University of Hong Kong Shenzhen; Duke University in North Carolina and James Madison University in Virginia addressed this question by collecting photos of ...

The long-term effects of terror attacks on targeted communities - study

Terrorist organizations that send members to murder people they hate think their violent, immoral actions will trigger sympathy for their own cause. But ironically, a new study from New Zealand found that violent actions intended to provoke opposition to particular communities may paradoxically lead to lasting acceptance and empathy for those who were targeted.Four years ago, a far-right extremist murdered 51 Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand. Immediately following the attacks there was a noticeable increase in public acceptance of the Muslim minority in the country. Comparable transient reactions have been observed after terrorist attacks elsewhere, but was this reaction sustained? Are enduring effects evident across the political spectrum?It’s hard to answer such questions because identifying long-term causal ...

😊 An Israeli envoy looks back on 5 tumultuous and gratifying years in New York

Within the Israeli foreign service, the Consulate General of Israel in New York is often described as both the friendliest and the most consequential posting for an Israeli diplomat. As I conclude my tenure here, I am struck by just how accurate, yet limited, that description is. My service here, over the past five years, has turned out to be the most meaningful relationship a diplomat could possibly have with a local community. The feeling that resonates, repeatedly, is that we are a family. We have a shared history and a shared fate. We are working on a shared future and it is our duty to continue forging these important bonds.
