evilHurdle Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well my thesis is going to revolve around the evolution of the virus. 4 major parts1. The enzyme reverse transcriptase came into existence when the gene coding for telomerase underwent a perverse mutation2. The capsids came into play when it accidentally under went exocytosis3. The DNA of the virus became elongated, some how, and the mRNA accidentally fused into the telomerase enzyme4. The virus lacks either a DNA repair enzyme to allow it to adapt or mutate rapidly. Or lacks genes such as p53 or other that demote the effects of cancer-adam if you ever happen to read this post, guess who.sry for horrible grammar or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Thug AMish Posted September 9, 2004 Report Share Posted September 9, 2004 How far are you along with your research? I think I was lucky by picking a mathematical thesis... I do not need to preform my own experiments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilHurdle Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 My experiments are pretty much non-existent, if need i'll pull something outta my chinese butt and contact a virologist i know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 My Bio project is about alellopathy in Eichornia crassipes, and it's about as exciting as watching paint dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rohirwine Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hmm, regarding Jeru, i suppose he is observing some form of (genetic?) illness over one species of vegetal......don't bother Jeru: plants are supposed to... ...vegetate!
