Shrinking Dinos learn to fly rather rapidly
Does this Genetically modified bird look like a shrunken dinosaur? Perhaps not, but when we talk about dinosaurs, most of us think of giant terrible beasties of huge proportions. As the article below suggests, most of the bird-like dinosaurs were rather small to begin with, but shrunk fairly rapidly when the need…
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…
