The Forces That Drive Evolution May Not Be as Random as We Thought By…

- - - - Species evolutionary history sometimes has an affect on its evolutionary future
        
        This knowledge could bring about advances in medicine, synthetic biology and environmental science.
        
        It might help fight antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
        
        Gives more options, for example targeting supporting genes as well as primary gene.
    - - AI has shown predictabilty in many of these instances.
        
        There is still random mutation in the genome.
        
        Molecular Natural Selection
        
        Observable patterns.
        
        Predictable events in evolution.
    - - Some parts of genome have more mutations
- - - - Therefore most evolution is unpredictable.
      - Previously believed all genetic mutation is random before this study.
        
        Even after horizontal gene transfer, the genome would evolve in a random fashion
        
        Thought experiment by Stephen Gould stated that replaying evolutionary history would have a different result each time.
- - - - When the genes are transfered they are inserted in a variety of positions in the genome
  - - - Some genes avoided other gene groups (negative relationship).
      - Some genes were dependent on other gene groups and planted themselves only when they were there.
