Gil's testable ID hypothesis

[Mercer (John Mercer)]

@colewd

In your diagram humans and mice share a common ancestor sometime in the distant past and that explains the similarity of alpha actin however why did cytochrome c diverge so much?

Excellent question. However, we’re discussing the cardiac sarcomere in the other thread in a similar way. We are testing the hypothesis that

@colewd

Sequence conservation shows functional constraint indicates functional information. How many sequences will perform the specific function. If no new sequences are getting fixed in any mammal population then the amount of functional information is certainly high.

How many different human MYH7 sequences will perform the specific function, Bill?

Please reply in the other thread.

Here, we are discussing Gil’s testable ID hypothesis:
