It does not even suggest that the basic mechanisms of Darwinian evolution are flawed, that is variation, selection and adaptation remain well - supported, supplemented by still further supporting evidence of evolution from population genetics and molecular biology.

In 1953 with the discovery of the double helix of the DNA molecule, which led to the eventual decoding of our genes, we now have access to what would seem to be the basic mechanism through which evolution occurs.

Marco Milán, head of the Development and Growth Control Lab, adds that «the patterns that determine how flies and humans are built are very similar and the basic molecular mechanisms have been conserved throughout evolution.

«This result also indicates that the basic mechanism of NMD in single - cell and multicellular organisms is preserved and already developed early on in the course of evolution,» says Rufener.

«One of the neat things this study shows,» said Cravatt, «is that even for enzyme classes as well studied as the hydrolases, there may still be hidden members that, presumably by convergent evolution, arrived at that basic enzyme mechanism despite sharing no sequence or structural homology.»

«The discovery of the DMRT3 mutation is an outstanding example of how genetic studies of the evolution in domestic animals can lead to basic new knowledge concerning gene function and important biological mechanisms», states Leif Andersson.

Hence, defining the mechanisms that control their occurrence is crucial to our basic understanding of genome biology, evolution, and disease mechanisms.

Moreover, the data can serve as a basis for studies concerning the evolution of signaling mechanisms, as well as can give specific insights into the regulation of basic cellular processes such as polar cell growth, cell expansion, plant morphogenesis and the plants responses to fungal pathogens.
