RETROVIRAL TAGS. "The gag gene encodes structural proteins, pol encodes enzymes such as reverse transcriptase, protease, ribonuclease and integrase functions, and env encodes envelope proteins, surface and transmembrane proteins and proteins causing host cell fusion and immunosuppression." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

RETROVIRAL VESTIGES. "Retroelements, with their (i) higher-order regulatory functions, (ii) capability for genetic creativity, and (iii) capacity for innovation of new regulatory patterns and combinations descended from retroviruses, which can easily be identified by their three essential parts gag, pol, and env." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn

DNA EDITING AND EVOLUTION. "Experience has shown that (1) excision, (2) insertion and (3) combination of the genomic codes are the keys in DNA editing and the basis of evolutionary processes. The contemporary term would be ‘‘natural genetic engineering’’." https://lnkd.in/e-pJFM6 View in LinkedIn

COUNTERING STICKY FEET. "Experimental data showed that none of the flies was able to walk across any of the waxy surfaces and only a few were able to take off from those surfaces. Both the absence of sites for claw anchorage, especially in N. ventrata, and the wax itself were shown to contribute to the trapping ability of the plants. We hypothesize that wax interacts with adhesive fluids secreted by the fly pad and thereby prevents the tenent setae from functioning effectively." https://lnkd.in/eBJsvKZ View in LinkedIn
