Mutations were always a change in an existing gene, so the use of the term in this case probably isn't correct. They came up with "insertions" to account for the acquisition of viral genes.
None of that, however, addressed the question of why Birds and Primates have color vision.
This deal here may be on the track to figure that one out without a lot of parallel evolution BS.

No ~ Lysenko was not correct ~ besides, he didn't have a clue this stuff was happening.
You will shortly discover we have some Freepers who haven't yet heard of insertions (for example).

Don't be ridiculous. It came from Outer Space buried deep within the rock from a long destroyed planet(oid) in a galaxy far away, and possibly even in a different universe.
Life is a marvelous machine with far more complexity than we can imagine.

Does this mean that Lysenko was right, after all? Hope not. It could drive this thread off in another direction entirely.

Right after it was discovered that mammals don't produce stem cells in their brains?

Plan Nine was underfunded by the last Budget. Plan 8.02.45 is available, but it lacks the neato whiz-bang special effects. LOL!
And it deosn't have an easy to use graphical interface.

My daughter works in genetics. As an undergraduate she got to work with a geneticist who was cloning fungi. His experiment was to clone a specific set of cells and produce genetically identical offspring wherein there was a dominance difference in the traits expressed. The genotype was identical and the phenotype varied. The experiment worked so it seems reasonable that there could be many explanations for the apparent differences among genetically identical offspring

And to think it all evolved randomly and purposelessly from nothingness.Wow!! Still embracing Lucretius' 1st Century B.C. Atomism? (And a superficial version even of that.) You're even more backward than the creationists!

Excellent!
There will still be a view Americans working in "omics".
