Can Anybody Actually Win The Evolution 2.0 Prize? January 18, 2016 at 9:44 pm In an invited review of nutritional epigenetics, I linked atoms to ecosystems without the pseudoscientific nonsense touted by neo-Darwinists. Kohl, James V. (2014): Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations: from atoms to ecosystems. The invited submission was returned without review. When I provide … Hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs (5)

To get insight into this biologically most relevant scenario, future work will address the behavior … Hydrogen-Atom Transfer in DNA Base Pairs (2)

It’s Not Brain Surgery, Ben Carson Excerpt: …“Heal Inspire Revive,” invokes an image of him pounding on the chest of a pulseless America. Whether or not he actually knows how to handle a crash cart of that size, many voters don’t seem to doubt that he can. And he doesn’t doubt it either. My comment: … Skip the politics; embrace the facts
GDNF-Transfected Macrophages Produce Potent Neuroprotective Effects in Parkinson’s Disease Mouse Model Excerpt: …genetically-modified macrophages released exosomes with incorporated GDNF that may facilitate GDNF transport into the target cells and preserve it against degradation. published 9/17/14 and reported on 9/11/15 as: Smart cells teach neurons damaged by Parkinson’s to heal themselves Excerpt: In addition to delivering … Exosomes and the RNA-mediated future of medicine (2)
The Octopus Genome: Not “Alien” but Still a Big Problem for Darwinism by Casey Luskin, August 24, 2015 Excerpt: Whenever you see “de novo” origin of a gene invoked, you know that evolutionary biologists lack any explanation for how that gene arose. My comment: I tend to use the experience-dependent “de novo” creation of olfactory … Creating genes and species
Darwinian evolution in the light of genomics Eugene Koonin excerpt: The distribution of evolutionary rates across sets of orthologous genes, the distribution of the sizes of paralogous gene families, the negative correlation between the expression level and the sequence evolution rate of a gene, and other relationships between key evolutionary and phenomic variables seem to … Olfaction & the octopus and human genomes (2)

See: Epimutation.com Currently, there is no content. When content is added, it will almost undoubtedly further the cause of confusion that evolutionary theorists must use in attempts to prevent serious scientists from Combating Evolution to Fight Disease. Serious scientists use what is currently known about biologically-based cause and effect. Prepare yourself for more pseudoscientific nonsense … Epimutation.com: a domain of confusion

The microRNAs do not appear to participate in a direct response to viruses. But, over long periods of time … Becoming biologically informed (3)
