Mutations that lead to cancer: A major argument against evolution?
A research group has discovered a novel cancer-driving mutation in the vast non-coding regions of the human cancer genome, also known as the 'dark matter' of human cancer DNA. (1) Not a surprising result. Something inherently in opposition with the basic premise of modern evolutionary theory (that mutations generate new functions which - if persisted…
