The Macaque Genome - Segment 2: Finding Positive Selection

In the 13 April 2007 issue, Science unveils the genome sequence of one of biology's most important model organisms -- the rhesus macaque monkey (Macaca mulatta). In Science, a Research Article and four Reports, as well as two News stories, detail the biomedical and evolutionary insights gained from the macaque genome, only the third primate genome to be completed after human and chimpanzee.

they are at least partially positively proving the theory of evolution.

wow

[Lihinel]

it is just fine and pretty simple, it requires a bit of basic knowledge of the used terms, but you can get that easy from other educational videos or websites (like wikipedia).

(or even better, leftover from biology class)

this video isn't for non-scientists..lol

laypeople right now watching this are going..transposable elements? nucleotides? base pairs? alleles? wtf are they talking about? hah

I see no idiots have posted a comment... too bamboozled to write about god or cretinism... (no thats not a spelling error). Yup some research gets you a long way.

I have seen some agruments suggesting some organisms are so complex evo could never have achieve it.

Thats the beauty of Science. Evo is a theory. The best theory available.  Science holds its hands up where appropriate. Untill we know for sure, thank you Darwin and the rest of the pioneers out there.

Long live the thinkers.
