NERD AGONIES: Life as Creationist Grad Students in the Secular World, Pt. 1
13Sal gives a gene browsing tutorial to fellow grad student Emory Moynagh. In the process they
have many laughs over evolutionary theory.
[VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED]
The conversation goes down interesting rabbit trails such as Josh Rosenau (not mentioned by
name in the video) who worked for the NCSE (National Center for Selling Evolution) whose PhD
dissertation was about the average penis lengths in mice. Rosenau had to use a ruler or tape measure and go around measuring the penis sizes of large numbers of mice...such is life
for some grad students...
Maury show, using shared errors of STR (short tandem repeats) to establish DNA paternity
Shared errors in pseudogenes in Interferon Lambda 3/4, and appearance of some common descent.
The problem for evolutionists regarding how the centromeric region signatures in humans are mapped differently in Chimps!
Evidence fossil plants like Cycads that supposedly lived 500 million years ago could only be
thousands of years ago.
mRNAs being used to predict genes.
Problems with the Illumina sequencer, and the dubious results of modern genome assembly.
Use of the UniProt knowledge database.
The equation for describing Heterozygous advantage and sickle cell anemia.
The BLASTn and BLASTp algorithms.
The problem of Sarcopterygiian fish evolution into birds when Sal compared COX1 in lungfish
and coelacanths vs the divergence found in tetrapods.

Regarding the chromosome mismatch in the centromeric regions: http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.0030181
"Phylogenetic analyses confirm that human and chimpanzee HOR alpha-satellites share a common origin [23] that is evolutionarily distinct from the flanking peripheral monomeric sequences. Every major human alpha-satellite suprachromosomal family shares homologous sequences with chimpanzee (Figures 6A and S5), despite the fact that they map to nonorthologous chromosomes between the two species (Table 3)."
