Scientists in China have synthesized spider silk from genetically modified silkworms, producing fibers six times tougher than the Kevlar used in bulletproof vests. The study, published September 20 in the journal Matter, is the first to successfully produce full-length spider silk proteins using sil...
Ah, Crispr-Cas9 is convenient.
You have 20 guesses to find the mystery animal of the day. Each fail gives you the most recent common ancestor, so that you can refine the next guess. Great concept, I am only frustrated by the species selection, which was designed to represent what people are "familiar" with, hence it is really biased for vertebrates, and especially mammals.
New genetic research has reignited the controversy over which type of creature was the first to branch off the evolutionary tree from the common ancestor of all animals
A good summary of the 15 years debate on the origin of animals. Still unresolved today.
