Hey there, my name is Lance Lafontaine.

I am a Cell and Molecular Biology undergraduate student at Concordia University, aspiring to be a biotechnologist/synthetic biologist. I am interested in all that's related to science, technology, and freethinking, among other things.

Oct 4	comment	Is there an evolutionary reason for the 5 electron transport complexes in plants and animals? The second paper and associated paragraph is EXACTLY what I was looking for. +1, thanks.
Oct 4	accepted	Is it more likely that the very first living organisms had a linear genome?
Oct 4	answered	Does DNA react in all of the ways most other acids do?
Oct 4	comment	Preserved alpha complementation over evolutionary time? Great answer, but I'll wait to see if anyone has any evolutionary evidence of the described situations.
Oct 4	comment	Average number of gene products in (a) eukaryote(s) I'm looking for protein products as well as non-translated RNAs.
Oct 4	answered	How are memories stored in the brain?
Oct 3	answered	What is the title of Darwin's paper on cellular structure?
Oct 3	asked	Average number of gene products in (a) eukaryote(s)
Oct 3	revised	Is it more likely that the very first living organisms had a linear genome? edited body
Oct 3	revised	Since Darwinian times, has there been any striking/notable effects of evolution on humans? corrected links
Oct 3	awarded	Custodian
Oct 3	reviewed	Reviewed Which way to run BLAST?
Oct 3	comment	Preserved alpha complementation over evolutionary time? Those two are almost "the opposite" of the answer I was expecting. Two genes which "came together" through evolutionary time. Although it might be interesting to point it out in the answer, I am thinking along the lines of "one gene becoming two associated ones though evolutionary time".
Oct 3	comment	Similarities Between Cells? Seems right. I would choose those answers as well.

Oct 3	asked	Is there an evolutionary reason for the 5 electron transport complexes in plants and animals?
Oct 3	asked	Is it more likely that the very first living organisms had a linear genome?
Oct 3	comment	Is it possible to increase lifespan through controlled evolution? What a great answer. +1
Oct 3	asked	Are there any strictly chloroplast/mitochondrion-residing ribozymes?
Oct 3	asked	Preserved alpha complementation over evolutionary time?
