In @Dev_Bio_Journal, past president @Planaria1 writes: “Simply put, we have but barely scratched the surface of development: we do not know what is already possible. The sheer number of species out there waiting to show us what is indeed biologically possible is staggering.” https://twitter.com/Planaria1/status/1528071356545392641

Great work from Prof Ba! Before this impressive discovery, Alex Nguyen Ba earned his PhD in the @AMosesLab as part of our Genome Biology and Bioinformatics specialization. Check out this link for more on this program: https://gbb.csb.utoronto.ca
New research by @UTMBiology's Alex Nguyen Ba and team shows that different combinations of genetic mutations can have an impact on the evolutionary process—and it could help us understand diseases and lead to more precise medicine.
