Any bets on how long it will take Jonathan Wells to claim that Intelligent Design has found a cure for cancer? <br /><br />It seems to me that PTENP1is still a pseudogene in that it does not code for PTEN. The fact that it sucks up the miRNA sequences that otherwise would prevent PTEN production by the PTEN gene doesn’t change this or make PTENP1 any less “vestigial”. It just turns out to now have a different noncoding function that might help prevent cancer. There’s a whole lot of nonsense hitting the internet on this so I’d appreciate any comments in case I’m not getting this right.<br /><br />Jim HofmannJim Hofmannhttp://nsmserver2.fullerton.edu/departments/chemistry/evolution_creation/web/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4948885059517209129.post-85408418230549942842010-06-24T14:19:24.304-07:002010-06-24T14:19:24.304-07:00Sigh.
