Abstract

Molecular genetics reveals three aspects of genome organization and reorganization that provide opportunities for formulating new views of the evolutionary process: 1 Organization of the genome as a hierarchy of systems (not units) determining many aspects of genetic function (only some of which are specifying protein and RNA sequences); 2 The presence of many repetitive DNA elements in the genome which do not encode protein or RNA structure but serve as the physical basis for functional integration; and 3 The operation of regulated cellular natural genetic engineering systems capable of rearranging basic genomic components throughout the genome in a single cell generation. Thus, concerted, non-random changes in the genome guided by cellular computing networks are plausible at the molecular level.KeywordsMobile ElementMouse Mammary Tumor VirusHybrid DysgenesisNormal Life CycleNatural Genetic EngineeringThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
