Using a new combination of computational tools to analyze ancient DNA , Yale researchers have discovered two ancient, extinct giant tortoise lineages that once lived on the Galapagos Islands.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common inherited cause of kidney failure. Despite decades of research, treatment options for the disease remain limited, and many patients ultimately require dialysis or kidney transplantation.
