First ancient human herpesvirus genomes document their deep history with humans: certain human herpesviruses became part of the human genome 2,500 years ago, and have been evolving with and within humans since at least the Iron Age but lost the ability to integrate into human chromosomes early on.

By reconstructing extinct enzymes from millions of years ago, researchers show that cannabis evolved the ability to produce THC, CBD and CBC through gene duplication and enzyme specialization, identifying ancestral enzymes with potential for biotechnological and medicinal cannabinoid production.
