[[Gene reactivation has been observed, so it’s not impossible.]]
And I think it’s also quite important to point out that these happen in species specific ways- (and that gene info get turned on that were never used- like in hte case of nylon digestion- at least it’s thought the info was never used, although it may have been used for a different purpose at soemtime in the past? Not sure on this) but these all happen in species specific ways, and again, this harkens back to individual species specific metainfo
Like digesting Rayon, for example, or Bakelite?
