Now, a new study led by UB and the Jackson Laboratory (JAX) reveals how the duplication of this gene — known as the salivary amylase gene (AMY1) — may not only have helped shape human adaptation to ...
Two new studies found that ancient human ancestors carried a surprising diversity of genes for amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch. By Carl Zimmer As soon as you put starch in your mouth ...
The study team focused on a gene called AMY1, which allows humans to identify and begin breaking down complex carbohydrate starch in the mouth by producing the enzyme amylase. Without amylase ...
