The researchers in Fahrbach's lab also made another discovery that surprised them.

"We expected the bee to have the same set of nuclear receptors as the fruit fly because both species are insects that share a life history of metamorphosis," she said.

But, she found a gene in the bee genome that is not found in the fly. In humans, the gene is critical for normal development of the eye. Although Fahrbach does not yet know the function of the gene in the bee, the first studies show that the protein encoded by this gene is found only in the bee's developing compound eye.
Evidence for common design is always called "surprising", but one would think after the pattern repeats so many times people might start catching on. I just have to wonder how surprised anyone really is at this point.

I mean I understand if one didn't keep up, and just blindly accepted evolutionism, it would come as a shock. "What's wrong with these bees? Don't they know who they're related to?" Something like that. But nobody who keeps up at all could be surprised. Every new genome they sequence provides strong evidence of common design.

The only mystery is how long evolutionists will continue supporting these research programs.
I would like to add that if you follow the link and look at the right-hand side of the article (about the middle of the page), you'll see links to more genome research. Those links will in turn have links to more articles. And every time there's always a "surprise" in store for those who assume life was not designed.

I'm still waiting for something to come up that's a "surprise" for those who acknowledge the fact that life was created. We might be surprised to find how ingenious the designs are proving to be, but this is not the same as the "surprise" that the closer one looks, the more clearly one sees evidence of the common Designer.

Edit: thought of a better way.

It's a search of the site for "genome". Much better than stumbling from link to link haphazardly.
