RE: The entire genome of the axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has been sequenced, and might give us details about how it regenerate lost limbs and damaged organs
Wow these things are so amazing. Who'd have thought they'd have the largest genome sequenced so far? I remember reading about these when I was a kid and I thought they looked like the comedian Carrot Top lol Nature is endlessly fascinating.
Haha, yeah, they're really cool creatures! The length of the genome seems pretty random at times, so even some small animals can have huge genomes, while bigger ones don't necessarily have that big at all. Some types of plants even have genomes that are much larger than that of the axolotl.
Anyway, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
