1. Pakistan blocks YouTube over blasphemous video

I think some of the comments in this thread are way out of order. Some of you sound exactly like the ranting extremists you are ranting at. The foul language used should not be allowed disgrace this site. Grow up!
Yes the www took a hit, and recovered. It is in no danger in of destruction, so don't get over exited. I doubt whether it is under threat of censorship in the west.

Marvellous. The style and presentation harks back to an earlier time when content was king.

3. DLD08 - Life: a gene-centric view

Dr. Venter referring to Prof Dawkin's "school boy howler" with regard to the transfer of genes across species via bacteria also intrigued me.
Maybe this is why pet owners grow to look like their pets. Only kidding.

I am just wandering what degree of exchange of viral or bacterial genetic material would produce a detectable shunt in a genetic lineage. I am an amature so please excuse my use of terms.

"Craig Venter seems says at one point that because our genome (and presumably that of other species too) has so much viral and bacterial DNA that it makes no sense to talk of "species" and that comparison of genomes to determine relatedness is also meaningless.Is this true or have I got it wrong?"

Jiten, this is exactly what I thought. Sorry I did not read your comment before posting.

Did I detect a major collision of ideas on the extent of cross contamination of genetic material? If I did then we must hear the ensuing debates please.

Three horsemen and one venomous bug hitching a ride.
Time to ditch hitch, for godsake.
