Even more interesting, is the fact that they were able to "lose" genes in order to adapt to the new environment. The process kind of reminds me of autoimmune disease because its attacking or damaging itself. Overall, very interesting article!Katharine Campionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526152267408104485noreply@blogger.com
