When researchers published the full genome sequence of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae in 1996, the community raced to create mutants for a systematic interrogation of each gene’s role. Researchers Brenda Andrews and Charlie Boone saw the same finish line: a complete, global genetic interaction network map.

When considering regions of genomes that encode proteins, human DNA is approximately 99% identical to that of chimpanzees. But genetic code similarity does not tell the full evolutionary story. A new study by Blencowe Lab researchers has illuminated a potentially frequent mechanism that generates evolutionary divergence between primate species.
