ok... How the hell do you delete DNA?

It is not often that the audience at a scientific meeting gasps in amazement during a talk. But that is what happened recently when researchers revealed that they had deleted huge chunks of the genome of mice without it making any discernable difference to the animals.

The result is totally unexpected because the deleted sequences included so-called "conserved regions" thought to have important functions.
All I can really say about This article is...

Of course there are redundancies... In my opinion, the DNA strands that are shared between species are from waaaaay back in the day, you know, when use and mice were still the same creature at evolved into us and the mice...

The have now been replaced with new and improved building blocks...

Of course it's just one of my theories and will prolly be adopted by the scientific community in the next 2-3 years, if last month is anything to go by...
