Emergence of saliva protein genes in the secretory calcium-binding phosphoprotein (SCPP) locus and accelerated evolution in primates

Petar Pajic, Luane Jandira Bueno Landau, Ömer Gökçümen, Stefan Rühl

This study investigates the evolution of saliva-related SCPP genes, identifying convergent duplications and positive selection in primates, with implications for adaptive diversification of saliva composition.

Paleolithic Gene Duplications Primed Adaptive Evolution of Human Amylase Locus Upon Agriculture

Feyza Yilmaz, Charikleia Karageorgiou, Kwondo Kim…·Andy Wing Chun Pang

The paper resolves the amylase locus at nucleotide resolution in modern and ancient humans, showing AMY1 copy number variation predated agriculture and was driven by recombination.
