Abstract

Introgression with archaic hominins and subsequent natural selection has shaped the immune system of modern humans. Recently, Sun et al. investigated the immunity advantages of a Neanderthalic variant in the membrane-bound immunoglobulin G1 (IGHG1) gene, activating pathogen-specific antibody production toward modern threats yet conversely increasing the risk of autoimmune diseases.

好的、坏的和尼安德特人的免疫力。

古人类的入侵和随后的自然选择塑造了现代人的免疫系统。最近，Sun 等人研究了膜结合免疫球蛋白 G1（IGHG1）基因中尼安德特人变体的免疫优势，这种变体激活了针对现代威胁的病原体特异性抗体的产生，但同时也增加了自身免疫性疾病的风险。

期刊介绍： Launched in 1985, Trends in Genetics swiftly established itself as a "must-read" for geneticists, offering concise, accessible articles covering a spectrum of topics from developmental biology to evolution. This reputation endures, making TiG a cherished resource in the genetic research community. While evolving with the field, the journal now embraces new areas like genomics, epigenetics, and computational genetics, alongside its continued coverage of traditional subjects such as transcriptional regulation, population genetics, and chromosome biology. Despite expanding its scope, the core objective of TiG remains steadfast: to furnish researchers and students with high-quality, innovative reviews, commentaries, and discussions, fostering an appreciation for advances in genetic research. Each issue of TiG presents lively and up-to-date Reviews and Opinions, alongside shorter articles like Science & Society and Spotlight pieces. Invited from leading researchers, Reviews objectively chronicle recent developments, Opinions provide a forum for debate and hypothesis, and shorter articles explore the intersection of genetics with science and policy, as well as emerging ideas in the field. All articles undergo rigorous peer-review.
