Resurrected protein's clue to origins of life
August 8, 2013 at 1:10 pm
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23591470

Quote:Gene sequences in a protein called thioredoxin, taken from a wide variety of modern organisms, were analysed and placed in an evolutionary context - locating them on a molecular-scale tree of life - to chart their progression from their primordial forms.

First, computer analysis was used to determine how modern genetic sequences developed from original codes, so the ancient DNA sequences in the protein from as far back as four billion years ago could be determined.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Nah, they'll be fine. They'll just pretend this never happened.

The word resurrected is enough to spark their ire.

Fascinating study.
