De novo mutation rates at the single-mutation resolution in a human HBB gene-region associated with adaptation and genetic disease, published by Cold Springs Harbor Laboratory Press, was reported as Study uncovers first evidence of long-term directionality in origination of human mutation, challenging neo-Darwinism  1/31/22 Directionality is energy-dependent. If this was the first study of long-term … “The Darwin Code: Intelligent Design without God” (4)

#SFN2019 to 2012: Hiding the facts (3)

|

Why Immune Cells Extrude Webs of DNA and Protein 10/1/19 Plant root cells release chromatin to defend against pathogens, and a recent study described NET-like structures released from phagocytes of invertebrates, such as crabs, mussels, and anemones. The process of cells releasing their DNA as a protective mechanism might therefore be ancient. Further studies will … #SFN2019 to 2012: Hiding the facts (3)

Rick Berke wrote: Dear Readers: I’d like to bring your attention to what I think is one of the most important stories we have ever published at STAT. After months of reporting, drawing on sources she developed over decades, our senior science writer, Sharon Begley, has produced a definitive account of one of the most … Codon-dependent mRNA stability (2)

Food energy-as-information, and consciousness

|

Informational Mode of the Brain Operation and Consciousness as an Informational Related System (6/7/19) Conclusion: consciousness could be fully described and understood in informational terms. In the same issue, the food that organisms eat is linked to human consciousness via natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality. Codon optimality biophysically constrains viral latency via the physiology … Food energy-as-information, and consciousness

Tasting light links energy from creation to adaptation (2)

Tasting light links energy from creation to adaptation 12/6/16 Energy as information becomes a signal via its effect on hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs in solution. The information links the anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight to all biophysically constrained cell type differentiation in all living genera via the innate immune system, which links the … Tasting light links energy from creation to adaptation (2)

Animal welfare vs human ethology

Dairy cattle welfare as a result of human-animal relationship – a review …negligence in this area is one of the reasons for public disinformation regarding the level of animal welfare. Negligence in all areas of animal welfare can be attributed to human ethologists. The history of their pseudoscientific nonsense extends back through the decades to … Animal welfare vs human ethology
