Hi 🧪 Every text defines co-evolution as "reciprocal genomic changes between two species". Clever students in my class wrote about co-evolution of interacting genes, X and Y chromosomes, mt and nuc DNA. I agree with them this is co-evolution. Why do texts say "two species"? #academicSKY #womeninSTEM

Scientists want to track the world's biodiversity using DNA in the air
Scientists have found a way to sample DNA out of the air on a large scale — making it possible to one day track the health and well being of all kinds of species around the world.
