Very happy to see this cool story finally out! @Retrotransposed @ALPPhD @Paleovirologist . Looking forward to future studies! retrovirology.biomedcentral.…

Origin and recent expansion of an endogenous gammaretroviral lineage in domestic and wild canids

Retrovirology - Vertebrate genomes contain a record of retroviruses that invaded the germlines of ancestral hosts and are passed to offspring as endogenous retroviruses (ERVs). ERVs can impact host...

We have a foster dog from @HSHV and he’s a certified Good Dog. He knows sit, down, stay, roll over, and is a cuddle master. He’s house trained and even crate trained! @HSHV is full of dogs right now and all adult dog adoptions today (Tuesday) are FREE -- including Wally!!

Fascinating talk last night by @hopihoekstra on her discovery of genes linked to animal behavior. Thrilled to have her speak at our annual Pasakarnis-Buchanan lecture! Another talk today, 3:30 pm, Life Sciences 112. @Retrotransposed

But the most radical part of Charles Darwin’s idea? It explained many facets of God’s creation in the context of sex, beauty, and a woman’s choice. (No wonder it wasn’t popular with Darwin’s 19th-century peers.) pops.ci/nRw53T

These Skates Are Made for Walking (Published 2018)

A fish that scurries along the seafloor uses the same neurons and genes that help land vertebrates walk, suggesting the blueprint for walking originated much earlier than previously thought.

Although they get a bad rap, viruses, like humans, can be good, bad or just neutral.  Happy Virus Appreciation Day… ift.tt/2yER5JY
