"There is not much time" mite?British media: The differences between mites DNA are getting smaller and smaller, or to extinction

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] The latest research shows that mites mating and breeding on human skin may "have little time." According to the British "Guardian" reported on the 22nd, scientists conducted research on the DNA of mites and found that the differences between its DNA are getting smaller and smaller, and they may move towards extinction in the future.

It is reported that mites have the most content in human nose, forehead, ear canal, and nipples. They eat the sebum naturally secreted by the cells in the pores. Although the reputation of mites has always been not very good, Heng Bretig, from the School of Natural Sciences of Bange University in the United Kingdom, said that mites may actually be beneficial to humans, "they may make the pores on our faces not blocked."

However, a study published in "Molecular Biology and Evolution" published in "Molecular Biology and Evolution" showed that it was the close relationship between mites and humans that caused the diversity of mites DNA to gradually lose. The more genes you lose. " It is reported that they do not seem to have close physical contact between adults, and they may eventually enter the dead end of the existence of isolation and the breeding of close relatives generated.
