...have to look very quickly,” Betts said in a phone interview Tuesday. Most SETI work has focused on detecting messages encoded in microwave emissions, according to Horowitz. But he said that aliens might use optical messages. Radiation at frequencies that fall into visible-light segment of the electromagnetic spectrum is easy to generate and detect, moves through the space fairly easily, and can encode large amounts of information, Horowitz said. Betts said astronomers had been ill-equipped to receive such a signal until the installation of the new telescope Tuesday, which can detect a billionth...

For example, Zebrafish (ray-finned fish that split off from the lineage that led to lobe-fins early in the Devonian) have only part of the sequence, whereas coelacanths (lobe-fins closely related to lungfish) have a lot more of it.
