Today is International Women's Day and the UN's theme for the day is 'Invest in women: accelerate progress', an empowering theme for us. And so I'm very happy (and deeply touched) to have been awarded 'Academic Champion of the year' from #WiSA 👩‍🔬💜

This is pretty amazing: a single hominoid-specific genetic change leads to loss of the tail. What an incredible phenotype!

How did humans loose our tails?
~25 million years ago, a monkey in Africa had a random mutation due to transposable elements (TEs) - pieces of DNA that can copy themselves in the human genome.

An Alu element was inserted into the intron of the TBXT gene, producing alternative…

Seen many Luo DNA results, shared some insights here before.While understandably surprising, fact is data points to KE Luo and Luhya being almost identical 🧬. Average Luo is about 80% Bantu & 20% Nilotic, slightly less Bantu in Central Nyanza (70%) , elevated in the South(90%)
