Splicing and Dicing the Human Genome
Introduction
Humans are much more complex organisms compared to simpler creatures like sea anemones and jellyfish, despite having a similar number of protein coding genes. This complexity is not solely determined by gene content but also lies in the non-coding portions of the genome …

Potentially Decisive Evidence Against Pseudogene 'Shared Mistakes'
Recent discoveries have challenged the prevailing view that pseudogenes are non-functional remnants of protein-coding genes. This article aims to present evidence that undermines the idea that pseudogenes lack function and are simply undergoing mutational decay. It also questions the assumption that pseudogenes with …

Are Wisdom Teeth Vestiges of Human Evolution?
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, have long been considered vestiges of human evolution. The prevailing theory suggests that our ancestors had larger jaws, which provided enough room for 32 permanent teeth, including wisdom teeth. However, as humans evolved, their jaws became …
