Our paper on the modelling of evolution of complex genomes is finally out. This is the culmination of about 5 years of spreadsheets, modelling how genomes could evolve. It suggests a specific path to evolving complex genomes, like ours, from simple ones. Animals and plants are all eukaryotes – organisms with their DNA in a… Continue reading May 2021.

Sept 2020. Phosphine on Venus?
On September 14th Nature Astronomy published a paper by Prof. Jane Greaves and her collaborators, including me, on the tentative discovery of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus. This is huge news. Phosphine is a colourless, highly poisonous gas found in tiny amounts (parts per trillion) in Earth’s atmosphere. It is a gas that our MIT group has… Continue reading Sept 2020. Phosphine on Venus?
Oct 2019. Positive results from Five Alarm Bio’s first experiments
Five Alarm Bio today announced positive results from their first series of experiments to boost the body’s ability to defend itself against the damage of aging. Five Alarm Bio has been testing our probe molecule FAB001 for its ability to delay and decrease cell senescence. As cells that come from normal tissues are cultured in… Continue reading Oct 2019.
