据科学网2015年4月24日援引报道,英国桑格研究所薛雅丽等对山地大猩猩的基因组测序结果显示,近亲繁殖能降低这种濒危动物有害基因突变的风险,对它们的繁衍有利而非有害。这颠覆了人们对近亲繁殖的通常认识。研究成果发表在《科学》杂志上。研究人员利用科学家多年野外研究采集的血液,首次完成了对中部非洲维龙加地区7只山地大猩猩的基因组测序,并与其他3个大猩猩亚种的基因组进行比较,发现山地大猩
According to ScienceNet’s April 24, 2015 report, genome sequencing of mountain gorillas by Xue Yali, the Sanger Institute of the United Kingdom, showed that inbreeding can reduce the risk of detrimental genetic mutations in this endangered species, harmful. This overturns people’s common understanding of inbreeding. Research results published in the “Science” magazine. Using the blood collected by scientists for many years in field studies, the researchers sequenced the genomes of seven mountain gorillas in the Virunga region of Central Africa for the first time and compared them with the genomes of three other gorilla subspecies. They found that mountain gorillas
