New Web-based Evolution Tool

The Timetree of Life Web Resource

The Timetree of Life Web Resource

Sudhir Kumar (Biodesign Institute, Arizona State University) and  Blair Hedges (Penn State) have released a new web-based tool for comparing the evolutionary divergence times between multiple organisms. The tool is called the Timetree of Life and it (along with the book published at the same time) is expected to become a top resource for evolutionary biologists, likening to that of  the NCBI BLAST database for geneticists.

Among those whose comments on the project have been noted are James Watson, co-discoverer of the molecular structure of DNA. In the foreword to the web resource’s accompanying book Watson comments, “I look in wonder at The Timetree of Life, at the breadth of life that it covers, and the extraordinary data presented in it.”

For more information check out the Timetree of Life and Biodesign Institute websites.

    Actually antibiotics are known to cmobee less effective the more often you take them. Take insulin for example, its not really an antibiotic but is holds a good story.Insulin WAS used as a wonder cure for potentialy hundreds of minor illnesses caused by germs. It was used extensively from the early 1900 s to about the 50 s or 60 s. If you were sick, you would get an insulin shot. Because of the exposure of these common germs to high levels of insulin, they have evolved to no longer be very effected by it. Because the main factor in evolution is a change in the organizims souroundings, the bacteria and germs got used to their enviroment that was full of insulin.Insulin is no longer a miracle cure, to the contrary, it is intentionaly not used a lot of the time where it would still be effective, just so they can protect its potentcy for future generations. If they used it for everything as they did before, it would slowly cmobee ineffective to everything.Also think of the Bird Flew. Currently scientists are rather scared that it may cange into an airborn disease. Currently it is strictly by direct exposure, such as handling or eating an affected animal. The only way it could cmobee a worldwide pandemic is if it evolved into an airborn disease.
