EVOLUTION VIA NATURAL GENOME REMODELING

Below is an article about mobile elements in the genome. It explains how mobile elements (jumping genes) can remodel the genome. These are triggered via environmental stressers etc. The article is quite technical, but nevertheless worth looking at as I have come to understand that this is one fast and dramatic way of changing a…
