Lol, are we placing a bet by ourselves or has our DNA already made the decision for us? Previous attempts to explain evolution had been academic and rooted in maths. Dawkins walked us through it in prose
‘As long as we study life, it will be read’: the Selfish Gene turns 40
You can be genetically closer to your siblings than your parents, but you’re considered to be about equally related to both your parents and siblings. To understand why, I looked for the science behind this question.
I had to google this as I didn’t realise what the idea was about. But yeah, I found this “When asked whether he would lay down his life for his brother, Haldane, presaging Hamilton’s rule, supposedly replied “two brothers or eight cousins” which makes sense.
BTW, Oligos are short, synthetic strands of DNA or RNA. The word oligonucleotide is derived from the Greek word olígoi, meaning “few” or “small”, and nucleotide, which are the building blocks of nucleic acids, such as those in DNA.
Oligonucleotides (or oligos for short) are one of the most important tools in modern day molecular biology. Without oligos, today’s biotechnology, diagnostic, and pharmaceutical industries simply couldn’t exist.
What is an Oligo?
To understand what is so special about oligos, we should firs... Read more

Although I wouldn’t gamble my life on my parents – although they share the same amount of DNA as my siblings, the siblings are more likely to propagate our shared genes.
