Taxa

... again, we'd get much different results. Once the basic body plans were established in the Cambrian period, it would have been very difficult for taxa to change their body plan once it was established. Screwing with Hox genes in a complex mammal would probably not result in a viable organism , ...

... i.e., each genome or type of genome shows a particular pattern of choices between synonymous codons. Thus overall codon usage differs between taxa; but codon bias is also influenced by other factors like gene length, gene expressivity (the amount of protein made per gene), environment and ...

... multiple and shifting geographic contexts and mechanistic drivers. This mosaic nature of speciation has also been suggested to characterize other taxa...and it might even be reasonably common in nature. The solution to Darwin’s ‘mystery of mysteries’ might therefore be considerably more complicated ...
