De novo gene Creation sans evolution of genes via mutations

Where do genes come from? – Carl Zimmer The pseudoscientific nonsense touted in this video has been refuted by decades of experimental evidence. The experimental evidence links RNA-directed DNA methylation from nutrient-dependent amino acid substitutions to the de novo Creation of olfactory receptor genes and fixation of amino acid substitutions in the DNA of organized De novo gene Creation sans evolution of genes via mutations

Did our adapted mind evolve?

What is currently know about neuroendocrine regulation clearly links ecological variation to ecological adaptations manifested in morphological and behavioral phenotypes via RNA-mediated events without the pseudoscientific nonsense of evolutionary theory. Evidence that biological facts about cause and effect make no difference to theorists shows up in what we can expect from conference presentations next year. Did our adapted mind evolve?

Behavior (2): All responses are RNA-mediated not genetically-determined

Diana Maria Petrosanu also asked: “who was the author of the article that had stolen your ideas?“ I cannot recall claiming that anyone had stolen our ideas or my ideas. See: Behavior: The first response is RNA-mediated not genetically-determined. In subsequent published works, I extended what we detailed about the molecular epigenetics of sex differences Behavior (2): All responses are RNA-mediated not genetically-determined

Insect homology and diversity attributed to mutations

Ancient homology underlies adaptive mimetic diversity across butterflies Excerpt: “Surprisingly, our results suggest that modulation of this conserved developmental gene has occurred in tandem between these two deeply divergent butterfly lineages, implying an unexpected and remarkable level of predictability in the evolutionary process.” Reported as: A single evolutionary road may lead to Rome Excerpt: “Copying Insect homology and diversity attributed to mutations

Nutrient-dependent cooperation vs cannibalism (video)

Contributions of VLDLR and LRP8 in the establishment of retinogeniculate projections reported as: Researchers find surprising relationships in brain signaling Excerpt: “…the glycoprotein Reelin is crucial to developing healthy neural networks. Logically, taking away the two receptors that Reelin is known to act on early in the brain’s development should create the same malformations as taking away Nutrient-dependent cooperation vs cannibalism (video)

Targeting a cancer gene

‘Undruggable’ mutation meets its match: Six-year effort yields first drug to target important cancer gene See also: Drug discovery: Pocket of opportunity[subscription required] Excerpt: “.,.the non-mutated protein is the beating heart of cell signalling, but mutated versions are the villainous masterminds of malignancies.” and see K-Ras(G12C) inhibitors allosterically control GTP affinity and effector interactions [subscription Targeting a cancer gene
