Very amazing. The article does mention salamanders, so it's certainly fair game for this forum

If you've ever studied genetics this atleast applies to humans there is a repeating code at the end of the "useful" code ... kind of like a tail and whenever a cell replocates the tail gets shorter times goes on the code is used up and starts to get into useful code and putting it very simply it can't produce what it needed to... It would be very interesting to see what happens in this jelly.
