Wie beeinflussen Verhalten und Umwelt die Funktion des Genoms? Epigenetische Modifikationen des Genoms, zu denen chemische Veränderungen an Proteinen, RNA oder DNA gehören, sind umkehrbar. Sie verändern die DNA-Sequenz nicht, können aber das Ablesen der DNA beeinflussen. Wir interessieren uns für die Regulation der epigenetischen Veränderung komplexer Merkmale über Generationen hinweg. Dazu kombinieren wir Bioinformatik, Epigenomik, Tumorbiologie und Fliegengenetik, um die Rolle der Veränderungen und der daran beteiligten Enzyme bei Alterung, Entwicklung und Krankheiten zu untersuchen.

A study led by researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, has shown that both amateur and professional dancers are less neurotic than people who do not dance. They are also more agreeable, more open, and more extraverted. But genre of dance matters.

The new supercomputer “Urania” has been put into operation by the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics in Potsdam. With 6,048 compute-cores and 22 Terabyte of memory it is just as powerful as its predecessor, but requires only half the electricity to operate. Scientists in the Astrophysical and Cosmological Relativity department are now able to compute gravitational waveforms of coalescing black holes in ever more complex encounters.

One in twenty-five people have synaesthesia, perceiving the world in unusual ways. An experience with one sense automatically leads to perception in another sense: for example, seeing colours when listening to music. Now researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and the University of Cambridge report clues into biological origins of such variations in human perception. They studied families with synaesthesia, and describe genetic changes that might contribute to their differences in sensory experience.

What makes a song successful in the competitive music market remains a mystery. In a new study, an international research team including the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, suggests that environmental factors such as weather conditions and seasonal patterns can play a significant role in shaping listener preferences and choices, potentially impacting a song’s success in the market.

Only some 3500 years ago people began to colonize the South Pacific archipelagos of Oceania. An international team of researchers including scientists from the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena now analyzed for the first time, the genomes of the first settlers who lived on the island chains Tonga and Vanuatu 3100-2500 years ago. The results, published today in Nature contradict common assumptions about the colonization of the region and point to another large and previously unknown migration wave from Melanesia.

How willing are people to help others in emergency situations? And does a person’s individual tendency to cooperate predict how they will behave under stress? Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development have investigated these questions in a study published in Nature Scientific Reports.
