This open access review that is linked from the title (below) will appear in the next issue of Int J Biol Sci 2015; 11(5):604-617. doi:10.7150/ijbs.11218 It is a excellent, albeit incomplete, review of how nutrient-dependent RNA-directed DNA methylation and RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions link the epigenetic landscape to the physical landscape of DNA via the … DNA Methylation and organized genomes
mTORC1 is a protein complex that functions as a nutrient/energy/redox sensor and controls protein synthesis. “MCRS1 Binds and Couples Rheb to Amino Acid-Dependent mTORC1 Activation” reported as: Oncogene regulated by nutrients identified A protein that is a molecular link connects Rheb-GTP to mTORC1 activation, lysosomes, and amino acid responses. Depletion of the protein links a … Amino acid-dependent cell type differentiation
This David Sloan Wilson interview of Eva Jablonka reflects the desperation of evolutionary theorists. Jablonka claims there is no need to re-define “evolution.” She also places all prior claims about evolution into the context of “symbolic evolution.” She attests to the fact that “evolution” (e.g., change over time) will probably be re-defined to fit whatever … Nutrient-dependent RNA interference
