Mapping the Gap: Richard Wang, Matt Hahn, and colleagues can now determine the average age that women and men had children throughout human evolutionary history with a new method they developed using DNA mutations. Their new model using de novo mutations found that fathers have been consistently older than mothers for the last 250,000 years, but the age gap has shrinking.

Evolutionary biologists at Indiana University have found that fathers are consistently older than mothers throughout human history, but that age gap is sh...

Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has funded Professor John Patton to continue his research to create a rotavirus vaccine specifically for developing countries. Rotavirus strains are the main cause for severe diarrheal illness in infants and young children across the globe. The current rotavirus vaccine is 80 to 90 percent effective in the United States, but it has just 40 to 70 percent effectiveness in developing countries.

IU Biology news: IU Professor John Patton hoping to increase immunization effectiveness in developing countries, thanks to a Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation grant.
