Life on earth began as a single-celled microbe and the human body has evolved to trillions of cells. With the increasing complexity of the development of species, scientists are faced with a myriad of questions about the origin of life.

Dr. Wen-Hsiung Li from the Biodiversity Research Center in Academia Sinica talks about how comparing the genetic codes of different species helps us understand their evolutionary origins and how this fundamental knowledge can be translated into producing important enzymes and hormones.

Li was born in 1942 in Taiwan. In 1968 he received a M.S. in geophysics from National Central University. In 1972 he received his Ph.D. in applied mathematics at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. From 1972 to 1973 he was a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Wisconsin Madison (genetics), working with James F. Crow. In 1973 he moved to the University of Texas, where he was appointed as a professor in 1984. Since 1998 he has been a professor at The University of Chicago. Dr. Wen-Hsiung Li received the 2019 SMBE’s Lifetime Contribution Award

Extralchromosomal telomere repeat DNA activates cytosolic DNA sensing pathway and influences ALT development

A recent study at the Institute of Molecular Biology, Academia Sinica discovers that extra-chromosomal telomere repeat (ECTR) DNA molecules can activate cytosolic DNA sensing pathways that may inhibit alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) cancer development.
