Light -induced nucleic acid-mediated gene duplication?

By: James V. Kohl | Published on: August 4, 2015

Because the process amplifies any sort of nucleic acid, such as genetic material, Lee said photonic PCR can expedite the investigation of not only human genes but also those of microbes, animals and plants.

UC Berkeley bioengineers develop ultra-fast method to copy DNA using light

Excerpt:

The team’s method — termed photonic PCR — works by shooting light at an ultra-thin film of gold, which energizes the electrons floating at the surface of the film. The excited electrons start oscillating and emitting heat, but as soon as the light turns off, they relax again, and the heating stops.

Can this experimental evidence be placed into the context of The anti-entropic “force of light”?  If so, it might be linked from the light-induced de novo creation of nucleic acids and amino acids to the RNA-mediated gene duplication and RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions that differentiate all cell types of all individuals of all living genera.
Excerpt:

Sutherland’s group showed that the de novo creation of the amino acids must have involved UV light.

My comment: It will be interesting to see if these researchers or other researchers report anything about the links from virus-driven entropic elasticity to genomic entropy, which is prevented by what is known about the anti-entropic epigenetic effects of light on the creation of different cell types in different individuals of different species. Perhaps both the heat and light from the LEDs or the sun should be considered in the context of how ecological variation leads to ecological adaptations in all living genera.
