This has raised the question of what the remaining part of the human genome does. How much of the rest performs other biological functions, and how much is merely residue of prior genetic events?<br/><br/>Evolution FTW.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientists Partially Reconstruct Genome of Extinct Mammoth]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/82625/1/</link><description><![CDATA[An international team of scientists has reconstructed about two-thirds of the genome of the woolly mammoth using DNA extracted from balls of hair, the first time this has been accomplished for an extinct species.]]></description></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wired Science Reveals Secret Codes in Craig Venter's Artificial Genome]]></title><link>http://www.plime.com/science/l/48674/1/</link><description><![CDATA[Wired Science has ferreted out the secret amino acid messages contained in &quot;watermarks&quot; that were embedded in the world's first manmade bacterial genome, announced last week by the J.
