Discovery of microbial evolution on the 10th Scientific Achievement
A famous American science magazine "Science" selected and published 10 groundbreaking scientific achievements, and the discovery of the evolution of microorganisms conducted by a research group of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology was selected. It was.
The famous American science magazine “Science” selected and published 10 scientific achievements at the end of the year.
The most important result was the world's first black hole photo shoot, which was conducted by an international research group with participation of NAOJ.
In addition, research groups such as Dr. Hiroyuki Imachi, Senior Researcher of the Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, discovered microorganisms that may have evolved into groups called eukaryotes, where we classify multicellular organisms including humans. It has been chosen as an important achievement that approaches the mystery of evolution.
On the other hand, this research has not yet been published as an official paper, and a system called “Preprint Server” that publishes the paper before publication on the Internet in advance is used. It is an exceptional selection.
In addition, the achievements of an Israeli research group, such as recreating the face with genes derived from already extinct human fossils, have been selected.
“I am very honored. We are approaching the mystery of the evolution of organisms, including human beings, and we are posting the paper, so details will be announced at a later date. I ’m happy. ”
