What to do with Your DNA.

Alex

Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei of Eye on DNA blog wrote about the top 5 things you can do with your genetic code, for example:

#3 Preserve your DNA in jewelry form.

The Perpetua Life Jewel Pendant is composed of your DNA embedded in acrylic and can be made in a variety of colors. There’s also a Gold & Crystal Life Jewel Heart available. They market it for preserving “your animal companion’s DNA,” but nothing stops you from preserving DNA from yourself or your lover(s) and children.

How does a fish die and become fossilized in the act of giving birth?

[from page 2 of the article] "The fish and its unborn offspring probably fell victim to rapid depletion of oxygen in the water, settling to the bottom of the sea where they were gently covered in layers of silt-like mud that hardened over time, according to the scientists."

attenboroughi?
hah.

And how would oxygen be depleted THAT quickly... almost a split second? It would be gradual... surely the fish wouldn't still be attached to its mother...

That's what I thought... there's lots of reasons for a fish to die. There could have been some illness or trauma that caused the umbilical cord to not detach, which also caused death, or something could have gone wrong with the birth process. Maybe she was old. Who knows?
