Trinity researchers discover “strong genetic lineage” between Stone Age and modern East Asia populations
The team was made up of researchers from Trinity, the University of Cambridge and University College Dublin
Trinity researchers have found that the genetic makeup of modern East Asians closely resembles that of their hunter-gatherer ancestors due to little genetic disruption in East Asian populations since the early Neolithic period.
“Genetically speaking, the populations across northern East …
Professor Luke O’Neill on marvel molecules and being a scientist
Professor Luke O’Neill of the School of Biochemistry and Immunology talks to Trinity News about the exciting discovery of a molecule that could help treat a variety of inflammatory diseases.
New research led by scientists at Trinity has uncovered a molecule that could lead to new treatment of inflammatory diseases including multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, gout, asthma, diabetes and Muckle-Wells syndrome. This marvel molecule, called MCC950, is capable of blocking …
DNA of lager yeast tells stories of eastern voyage
Trinity research has revealed that ancestors of yeast used in brewing lager may have been transported along ancient trade routes.
Seasoned brewers know that behind every successful beer, there is a very precious yeast at work. When it comes to beer – from ale, to stout, to lager – yeast is a crucial ingredient used to ferment sugars into alcohol.…
