Reconstructed 1.5‑billion‑year‑old protein network reveals hundreds of hidden disease‑linked genes

A University of Texas at Austin-led team has reconstructed the most detailed map to date of the molecular machines that carried out the functions of life in an ancient ancestor that gave rise to all complex life on Earth, including us, shedding new light on genetic causes of human diseases.

Scientists identify hundreds of ancient genes associated with human diseases

When a child develops kidney failure or a rare bone disorder, the cause can seem painfully immediate. It may be a single broken gene, a sudden diagnosis, or a family searching for answers. However, some of those faults may trace back nearly two billion years, to a one-celled ancestor shared by every plant, animal, and fungus alive today. A University of Texas at Austin-led team has now reconstructed the most detailed map yet of the protein netwo…
