It has been known for some time that our DNA contains genetic material that was once viral. New research suggests the extent of this is greater than previously realized.
|
|
Faster and cheaper computer chips are one of the drivers within the technology sector. One way to achieve this is by shrinking component sizes. For this, one research group have been looking at DNA.

These alleged robbers might want to think of new careers after robbing a bookmakers by using a fake gun and a hammer.
Oh sure, they pulled the robbery off without a hitch.
Almost.

"Walk like an Egyptian" say the words of the song, and it seems that Europeans and Asians did just that, when they migrated north from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.
|
|
Most textbooks talk of four DNA bases. Later research has shown there to be five. No, wait, cross that out, there could be six. Scientists suggest that the methyl-adenine is the sixth base and that it is medically important.

A cave in Italy has given up one particularly fascinating gift: A skeleton containing the oldest Neanderthal DNA ever discovered.
Scientists studying the ancient skeleton have dated the molecules found within to about 130,000 to 170,000 years ago.

San Jos -
When you live in the tropics, the neighbors tend to invite themselves into your house.
In my case, sometimes it's a two-toed sloth. Other times it's a beautiful morpho butterfly.
And other times it's a large, hairy spider.

The double helix structure of the DNA molecule Zephyris
The Earth is going through a "frequency sweep," evolving from low to high frequencies. The frequency is now rising above a base pulse of 7.8 cycles per second. All cellular patterns must follow suit with an increase in their frequencies. You Tube
