Intelligent Design Has Implications for Genome Editing
Biology is a lavish display of sophisticated designs exceeding all human engineering to date.
Noncoding “Junk” DNA Is Important for Limb Formation
Some defenders of evolutionary orthodoxy would have us believe that we’ve only found a handful of non-coding DNA sequences that have function.
Is the INK4a/ARF Overlap a Settled Example of Poor Design?
Dr. DeBenedictis’s basic argument is that there is a section of the human genome where two genes overlap, both of which are important for suppressing tumors.
Cells Use Loop Extrusion to Keep DNA Optimized
A paper illustrates the action of DNA loop extrusion processes, which serve multiple functions to maintain the genome, with an interesting graphic: gears.
Another “Junk DNA” Icon Bites the Dust
Casey Luskin examines a paper which argues that the famous beta-globin pseudogene is functional. Why is this pseudogene famous?
