>>14045522evolutionary biology is about the diversity of life and the mechanisms that generated this diversity
relating to cancer. Specific targeted treatment to the particular genome of the cancer cells of parent will leave cancer cell resistant to this treatment, because they have a different genome.
This is basically a living organism population on which a selection pressure is exerted upon, which makes a process of natural selection.
There is research on predicting/computing the different ways that cancer cells can evolve and basically block their path, so that the treatment works.
How's that for an applcation ?
That's not dinosaur evolutionary biology but in a way this corresponds to YOUR (very limited and overly simplistic) definition of science.
INPUT = set of genomes of cancer cells before treatment
TESTING = apply the treatment
OUTPUT = set of genomes of cancer cells that survive the treatment
>testing things to try to find repeatable output from the same inputs.test treatments, and the alogorithm that made them (which pathways should be blocked ? in funtion of the cancer cell's genome sequencing data)
> inb4 that has nothing to do with paleontology ! how the fuck could we do this we do not know what the outcome of cutting the head of all tall individuals in the population of ducks would be ?
