Circular Intronic RNAs Defy Junk DNA Dogma
A completely new category of circular RNAs has been discovered, adding another layer of amazing complexity to human genetics. These circular RNAs are formed from the intron regions inside a gene that were once thought to be nothing but junk DNA.1
Study Fails to Prove Flight Feathers Evolved
A recently discovered Microraptor fossil reveals an odd-looking bird with two front wings and feathers on its back legs, giving it the appearance of having "four wings." The startling fossil reflects some of evolution's unsolved mysteries, like the origins of flight, wings, and feathers. Could Microraptor help answer these questions?
Engineered Chemical Could Cost Less, Save Lives
Three researchers from the California Institute of Technology recently made a breakthrough in developing a molecule that mimics plants’ nitrogen chemistry—processes that are needed to synthesize fertilizer in a more cost-efficient way that will also avoid disasters like the April 2013 fertilizer facility explosion in West, Texas.
Water in Rocks May Support Moon's Bible Origins
Is there water in moon rocks? There shouldn't be, according to secular accounts of the moon's origins. But now, decades after Apollo missions returned to Earth with moon rocks, scientists at The Open University in the UK have reported that minerals in these rocks hold water remnants.1 Could this lunar water support the biblical account of moon origins?
