Idea to determine order of assembly of spliceosome

... we don't know the mass or other physical properties of the snRNP:s, thus the "target bar" is unknown to us prior to the appearance of incremental increase of mass). The mass should continue to increase with specific amounts during the maturation. Re-running this test should show a ...

Yes, there are limits on what natural selection can do, and it's true that there are four other "forces" ...

Re: Camouflage in nature

... "slowly" is causing confusion, since you've underlined it. My use of the word is to indicate that evolution usually happens by small, incremental, cumulative steps. Large jumps are not the norm. If the mimic species is changing by large jumps, then it should be disqualified for cheating. ...
