Im on a cell phone at a ball game, but its interesting that there was no attempt to address orphan genes and their role in evolution. Although the concept was ridiculed by Roger, I suspect it is that he simply doesnt know how to address

Orphan genes are protein-coding genes that appear in a single species. Because they appear only once in the evolutionary tree, they must have evolved relatively rapidly and their history cannot be traced back to early evolutionary history.

I ridiculed it because it is unworthy of being addressed. It presents no challenge to evolution whatsoever.

You really spend a lot of time on AiG pasting things you think sound great.

Orphan genes are relatively new to intense research but are in no way a problem.

Now. Answer my question.

A pertinent note though -- our genome mapping across species is in its infancy.
