Just another example of just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

Indeed, these findings suggest the suppression of just a few genes could have led to incredible diversity in body plans "from the very beginning,"

Weird, if you supress genes it screws things up? /sarc

Fascinating stuff. I am a little perplexed at their contentions on how this sheds light on evolution of animals as the researchers claim. The article says "The researchers designed RNA molecules". Further, the description of the Hox and Cnox gene controls remind one of the check boxes on the tabs of Windows software. Are the scientists saying that the whole system was there "from the beginning"? If so, it is like they have just learned how to change screen savers and using it as evidence that Windows code wrote itself.

re: 12-headed jellyfish

We already had this type of creature - it’s called the Senate Judiciary Committee

[ok, maybe that’s more like an 18-headed jellyfish or whatever the exact number of members may be]

However, Schierwater noted that corals, which are animals, often form colonies by adding heads to a common stalk, each of which connect to a common gut, just as with the modified jellyfish that the researchers created.

Are these really added 'heads' or are they just added 'mouths'.

Big difference.
