  2. Self-domestication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-domestication

    Generally, humans demonstrate lower aggression within groups. Reactive aggression, much more closely associated with anger, is characterized as an immediate response to a threat—the human equivalent being "bar fights". Aligned with the behavior of self-domesticated bonobos, humans do not have a high propensity for reactive aggression.

  3. Humans did not evolve from either of the living species of chimpanzees (common chimpanzees and bonobos) or any other living species of apes. [172] Humans and chimpanzees did, however, evolve from a common ancestor. [173] [174] This most recent common ancestor of living humans and chimpanzees would have lived between 5 and 8 million years ago. [175]

  4. DNA annotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_annotation

    In molecular biology and genetics, DNA annotation or genome annotation is the process of describing the structure and function of the components of a genome, [2] by analyzing and interpreting them in order to extract their biological significance and understand the biological processes in which they participate. [3]

  5. Text annotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Text_annotation

    Text annotations can serve a variety of functions for both private and public reading and communication practices. In their article "From the Margins to the Center: The Future of Annotation," scholars Joanna Wolfe and Christine Neuwirth identify four primary functions that text annotations commonly serve in the modern era, including: (1)"facilitat[ing] reading and later writing tasks," which ...

  6. Annotation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annotation

    DNA annotation or genome annotation is the process of identifying the locations of genes and all of the coding regions in a genome and determining what those genes do. An annotation (irrespective of the context) is a note added by way of explanation or commentary. Once a genome is sequenced, it needs to be annotated to make sense of it. [49]

  7. ANNOVAR - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANNOVAR

    To use ANNOVAR for functional annotation of variants, annotation datasets can be downloaded using the annotate_variation.pl script, which saves them to local disk. [1] Different annotation data sources are used for the three major types of annotation (gene-based, region-based, and filter-based).

  8. Genome project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genome_project

    When printed, the human genome sequence fills around 100 huge books of close print. Genome projects are scientific endeavours that ultimately aim to determine the complete genome sequence of an organism (be it an animal, a plant, a fungus, a bacterium, an archaean, a protist or a virus) and to annotate protein-coding genes and other important genome-encoded features. [1]

  9. Psychology of collecting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychology_of_collecting

    The psychology of collecting is an area of study that seeks to understand the motivating factors explaining why people devote time, money, and energy making and maintaining collections. There exist a variety of theories for why collecting behavior occurs, including consumerism, materialism, neurobiology and psychoanalytic theory.
