The Year in Review: Three Major Advances for Intelligent Design
The situation resembles a poorly constructed dam holding back water that is continuously rising.
Studies on Insect Wings Validate Engineering Models for Adaptation
The “long-winged” phenotype is generated if the environmental conditions deteriorate due to reduced food supply or overpopulation.
The Design Connection in Biological Tracking Systems
If organisms resulted from haphazard undirected processes, their design constraints would be few and highly flexible.
Engineers in the Systems Biology Revolution
Systems biology is taking the biological world by storm, an approach that treats biological systems as optimally or near-optimally engineered systems.
Nearly All of Evolution Is Best Explained by Engineering
Transposable elements modify gene regulation in maize to confer drought tolerance, alter flowering time, and enable plants to grow in toxic aluminum soils.
