Scientists may have found a missing link between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. This little bugger, named Loki, carries the genes of both types of cells. It is a huge breakthrough for those who study evolutionary theory. This discovery shows that symbiogenesis is possible and observable! Go read the article; it’s good news, and we need all we can get in these dark and twisted times.

UPDATE: Scientists have also discovered new base pairs of DNA. These new bases may help genes to express by regulating coding sequences.
