Scientists Ignored This DNA Pattern for DECADES! | The Creation Podcast: Episode 114

About this episode

The episode discusses the significance of tandem repeats in DNA and their impact on genomes and traits in living organisms.

Almost every living organism has tiny stretches of DNA that repeat over and over again. Scientists call these tandem repeats, and for a long time they were mostly ignored and even called ‘junk DNA.’ But it turns out these repeats can actually affect how genomes work, how traits appear, and how different organisms are unique from one another. --- Join ICR's YouTube channel to get access to perks Join us on Patreon     More...
