When did human chromosome 2 fuse?(2023)

Fluorescence hybridization image of human chromosomes in metaphase. The probe glowing red is one that binds to telomeric DNA. The chromosome in the zoomed inset is human chromosome 2, which has telomeric DNA near its center, the point where two ancestral chromosomes fused together. Image from Ijdo and coworkers (1991). Most living people have 23 pairs of chromosomes, as did our relatives known from ancient DNA, the Neandertals and Denisovans. All of our closest primate relatives—chimpanzees, bo

Apple iPhone 17 review: Sometimes boring is best

Apple seems determined to leave a persistent gap between the cameras of its Pro iPhones and the regular ones, but most other features—the edge-to-edge-screen design with FaceID, the Dynamic Island, OLED display panels, Apple Intelligence compatibility—eventually trickle down to the regular-old iPhone after a generation or two of timed exclusivity. One feature that Apple has been particularly slow to move down the chain is ProMotion, the branding the company uses to refer to a screen that can re

If the iPhone 17 doesn't get ProMotion, I won't be upgrading my iPhone 12

In 2020, I bought an iPhone 12 to replace my aging Pixel 3 , and nearly five years later, I'm still using that same device because it works fine and Apple has yet to bring the feature I want most on a regular iPhone: a ProMotion display. If you're not familiar with the company's marketing lingo, ProMotion is its way of describing a high-refresh rate display. Apple introduced ProMotion with the iPhone 13 Pro . Since then, every Pro model has offered a 120Hz refresh rate display with the ability

YouTube TV is offering a hidden $66 discount — here’s how to get it

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR A hidden YouTube TV promotion is offering to take $33 off your monthly bill. The promotion lasts for two months, meaning you can save $66. You’ll need to use a web browser to access the promotion. Earlier this year, YouTube TV raised its subscription price from $72.99 to $82.99.

The Morning After: The best Switch 2 games (so far)

A couple of months since the Switch 2 launched, we’ve all got to grips with the new magnetic-latching Joy-Cons, the jump in graphic fidelity and (honestly) the wait for a next-gen Zelda or Mario title. With the arrival of Donkey Kong Bananza, the new console has its first entirely new breakout platformer hit, we asked the Engadget team for the must-have games on the Switch 2. TMA (CD Projekt Red) With a leap in processing power, the Switch 2 can now handle ostensibly huge games like Hitman and

DJI repurposed its drones' obstacle detection tech for robot vacuums

DJI's obstacle avoidance system could be just as useful on land as it is in the air. DJI, known for its dominance in the drone market, has entered the smart home world with a range of robot vacuums called ROMO. Beyond its drones, gimbals and action cameras, the Chinese company previously branched out into other product categories, including portable power stations and e-bikes. For those wondering why DJI settled on robot vacuums as its next venture, it makes sense considering the company's "omn

DJI goes from drones to dust with launch of new robot vacuum

DJI TL;DR Drone-maker DJI has entered into a new category with the launch of its robot vacuum lineup. The DJI Romo uses two panoramic cameras along with three lasers to scan for objects while it is cleaning. There are three models, including a transparent Romo P, which looks like something Nothing would design. DJI is a popular name when it comes to drones, video stabilization rigs, and action cameras. But the company recently entered into an entirely new category outside its forte of imagin

The biggest iPhone 17 mystery left could swing a lot of upgrade decisions

Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup will be unveiled just two months from now, and while most features of the new models have already leaked, there’s at least one big question mark that could swing a lot of upgrade decisions: ProMotion. Which iPhone 17 models will support ProMotion? Back in 2022, Apple debuted a big display upgrade for certain iPhone models. ProMotion enabled the iPhone’s first always-on display, and a much-improved 120Hz high refresh rate. For three years running, ProMotion has been ex

The startups rolling out of Europe’s early-stage micromobility scene

Early-stage micromobility has shifted over the last few years. The cowboy antics of e-scooter companies causing chaos in a bid to scale has faded along with those fat venture checks that are now flowing to AI startups. Tighter capital combined with an existential need to create sustainable business models has produced a new crop of micromobility startups. This week, I attended Micromobility Europe in Brussels, where I toured the conference’s so-called “Startup Arena” to get a sense of what Eur

Voi CEO says he’s open to acquiring Bolt’s micromobility business

Shared micromobility startup Voi is on the hunt for acquisitions. And on CEO Frederik Hjelm’s wishlist is Bolt, the European mobility super-app best known for ride-hailing. Not that Bolt’s micromobility business is necessarily for sale — despite talk of Voi buying the company’s scooter and bike arm. Bolt declined to comment when TechCrunch reached out. “Bolt is a great company, but they are mainly a ride-hailing company,” Hjelm told TechCrunch on stage at the Micromobility Industries roundtabl
