'bizarre mix of mammal, bird and reptile, with very complex sexuality'

clipper's remarks: The fact that the animal has five X and five Y chromosomes is "the weirdest thing about a very weird animal," said Ewan Birney, a co-author on the paper, based at the European Bioinformatics Institute, near Cambridge. "In theory it means there are 25 possible sexes, though in practice that doesn't happen."

A DNA study found the creatures to be a mix of mammal, bird and reptile with, even more strangely, 10 sex chromosomes

Platypus proves even odder than scientists thought

At first dismissed as a prank, and later cited as proof that God has a sense of humour, the duck-billed platypus has finally given up its evolutionary secrets

The creature, considered one of the strangest mammals in the world, has become the latest to have its genetic code sequenced, revealing it to be a bizarre mix of mammal, bird and reptile, with very complex sexuality. While humans have two sex chromosomes, the X and Y, the platypus has 10, with five of each kind

An international team of scientists extracted DNA from a female platypus, named Glennie, reading all 2.2bn pairs of her genetic "letters". Thought to have begun to diverge from other mammals 170m years ago, the platypus has been regarded as the nearest thing biologists have to a missing link between the earliest reptiles and mammals

Iran Jewish MP criticizes 'anti-human' Israel acts

Tehran lawmaker filling only seat allotted for Jews says Iranian Jewish community will not be celebrating Israel's 60th anniversary. 'We have nothing to do with Israel,' he says.

An Iranian Jewish leader on Wednesday said his community would not mark this week's 60th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel, which he accused of "killing innocent" Palestinians

"We are in complete disagreement with the behavior of Israel,"

"We are Iranians. We have no relations with Israel. "

Judaism is one of three recognized minority religions in Iran.

The community has a member in the 290-seat legislature and its own schools

Four other seats are reserved for Christians and Zoroastrians

Iran's ancient Jewish community has dwindled by roughly 75% since the 1979 Islamic revolution but is still believed to be the biggest in the Middle East outside Israel,

Dinosaur killer may have struck oil

The dinosaur-killing Chicxulub meteor might have ignited an oilfield rather than forests when it slammed into the Gulf of Mexico 65 million years ago, say geologists.

The dinosaur-killing meteorite crashed into oily shales, researchers say. This would have caused the oil in the rocks to vaporise and ignite, making tiny carbon particles, or cenospheres, like this one

Smoke-related particles found in sediments formed at the time of the impact are strikingly similar to those created by modern high-temperature coal and oil burning, as opposed to forest fires, says Professor Simon Brassell of Indiana University.

He and colleagues from Italy and the UK publish their report on the discovery in the May issue of the journal Geology.

Evidence of some sort of large burn that may have changed the world's climate at the end of the Cretaceous has been around since the 1980s.

But scientists can't agree on just what sort of fire it was.

Japanese astronaut to throw boomerang in space

Japanese astronaut to throw boomerang in space

A Japanese astronaut plans to throw a boomerang inside a space station to test how it can fly in zero gravity, an official said Wednesday.

Astronaut Takao Doi, 53, is set to travel on a US shuttle in March to the International Space Station, where he will be in charge of construction of a Japanese scientific testing room.

It is believed gravity is needed for a boomerang to fly back to the throwing spot, but no one has tried in zero gravity.

"Mr. Doi said he will personally carry a paper boomerang for the upcoming mission and we presume he will try it when he has spare time," said an official of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency.

Doi reportedly decided on boomerang tests after he received a request from Yasuhiro Togai, a world boomerang champion from the western Japanese metropolis of Osaka.

Doi later underwent training from the world champion on how to throw it, media reports said.
