Re: ERV's not just limited to Chimp/Human
It is important to realize that even though we share many ERV's with chimps we also share them with other species besides chimps.
Certainly. In fact, tracing shared ERVs builds a tree that looks suspciously like another tree:

Re: I am what I am
but look at the following logic;
antecedant)IF evolution is true THEN(consequent) these ERVs should be present in the same loci in humans and chimps, in the genome. (PONEN)
Science says.
Affirmation = confirmation evidence ONLY (tentative induction build-up)
Tollens = falsification.
You see, this evidence for evolution, though it should follow, does not prove that if X is Y then Y = X.
Yes, as every scientist understands by the time they are out of nappies... ever heard something about grandmothers and eggs???
Now, you were saying?

Taq recently writes:
I have constructed my own transposon libraries. After testing 1700 individual clones for specific enzyme production I finally found the knockout, and that was after dual screening for drug resistance to make sure the transposon was even inserted into the genome. I would have been uberpissed if that transposon was overly biased so that it never inserted into the gene of interest. I was pissed enough that it took 1700 clones to find the one I was looking for.
Hmmm...

mikey-hater.
Mike, your a first-year know-it-all undergrad trying to show off to a hall full of professors. We don't hate you. We're just waiting for you to grow up a bit.
