One of the most intriguing areas of research could be found in Eukaryotes which genomes contain many intragenic regions, commonly known as introns. Sophisticated DNA-transcribing machinery cuts into this area so that true gene sections can be spliced together. Introns can vary from 20 base pairs to over 500,000 and is currently considered for the [...]

Twenty-two international researchers led by Ludovic Orlando of the University of Lyon in France completed a very comprehensive comparison of ancient DNA (aDNA) from fossil equids (including horses, donkeys and zebras).  Let me tell you, this wasn’t pretty research for evolution, but of course they still like to brag about the fossil record…Here is what [...]

Non-coding DNA and RNA have been a major topic of debate in the realm of science between creationists and intelligent design proponents vs evolutionists. Some defenders of Darwinism have claimed, scientists were looking for function in the non-coding DNA all along, while accusing creationists of having the wrong conception about it.
Junk DNA and RNA was [...]

Remember during the 2008 run for the White House, John McCain’s running mate Sarah Palin’s comments about fruit fly research? Let me refresh some of your memories or fill the ones if you haven’t heard.
Over major concerned for an ever increasing US deficit being produced by the United States government, Sarah Palin was advocating priories [...]
