Consonant-like calls from orangutans provide clues to the origins of human spoken language

New research from The University of Warwick has revealed that orangutans, the most arboreal of the great apes, produce consonant-like calls more often and of greater variety than their African ground-dwelling cousins (gorillas, bonobos and chimpanzees).

MGI’s DNBSEQ-T7* facilitates ultra-deep sequencing of high-complexity metagenomic samples

Thanks to high-throughput sequencing technologies, shotgun metagenomic methods were made possible and had effectively transformed microbiology. Today, advances in both short- and long-read technologies are overcoming many of the previous challenges affecting metagenomic profiling, especially of highly complex samples and environment.
