‘re-programmable cells’ and new life forms

Easily ‘re-programmable cells’ could be key in creation of new life forms.

“CT allowed us to digitally dissect the mite off the spider in order to reveal the important features on the underside of the mite required for identification,” – that’s XRAY CAT Scanning he’s talking about and the mite (and spider) are encased in amber. Look at the picture. He’s talking about looking at the underside of the mite which we cannot see without removing it from the amber. Cool!!
