Sea creature revealed to have so much DNA it can hardly be called a species
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, education, genetics
This is because the species undergoes a process called polyploidization, which is when a single chromosome is duplicated multiple times.
“It has amazing genetic diversity,” study co-author Tim O’Hara, a senior marine curator at Museums Victoria in Australia, told Newsweek.
“Instead of evolving into separate species over time, lineages readily hybridize with each other, so building up a great amount of genetic diversity. But not only that, they sometimes add their genomes together, so end up with four or more copies of each gene,” O’Hara said.

Scientists say they can reverse time in a quantum system. Here’s how
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in categories: particle physics, quantum physics
“We can rewind to a previous scene or skip several scenes ahead.”
An worldwide team of scientists claims to have found a means to speed up, slow down, and even reverse the clock of a given system by taking use of the peculiar qualities of the quantum universe, as reported by Spanish newspaper El País.
The scientists from the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the University of Vienna presented their findings in six separate papers. The basic principles of physics do not transfer intuitively onto the subatomic world, which is made up of quantum particles known as qubits, which can exist in several states at the same time, a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement.
