Epigenetic Regulator CoREST Controls Social Behavior in Ants 11/12/19 Excerpt: CoREST RNAi (compared to control RNAi) was injected into the head capsule of Major ants at d4, and then TSA (or DMSO control) was injected 24 h later at d5, the peak time of reprogramming (scheme in Figure 6A; validation of CoREST RNAi in Figures … How to Profit from Suffering and Death (2)
Ariel Bazzini linked natural selection for food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled codon optimality to biophysically constrained viral latency via RNA-mediated fixation of amino acid substitutions and sympatric speciation in all living genera. See: Genome-Wide Study Reveals a Novel Regulatory Pathway: Translation Affects mRNA Stability in a Codon-Dependent Manner 6/26/19 For a historical perspective on the ignorance displayed … #SFN2019 to 2012: Hiding the facts (7)
The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics – Tuesday 8 October The 2019 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to researchers who linked God’s Creation of sunlight and water from photosynthesis and the creation of oxygen to biophysically constrained viral latency and polycombic ecological adaptations in morphology and behavior via the physiology of reproduction … Patented Creation vs Evolution of Disease (5)
My tweets made nearly 78,000 impressions on 9/28/19. Moving forward, see: Natural selection shapes variation in genome-wide recombination rate in Drosophila pseudoobscura 9/30/19 … (1) there is abundant variation in genome-wide crossover rate in natural populations (2) interpopulation differences in recombination rate may be the result of local adaptation and (3) the observed variation among … Chemogenetic kinetics (7): DHA vs consensus (3)
See first: The tipping point (revisited): 91K (1) Conclusion: Nutrient-dependent/pheromone-controlled adaptive evolution: a model 6/14/13 …the epigenetic ‘tweaking’ of the immense gene networks that occurs via exposure to nutrient chemicals and pheromones can now be modeled in the context of the microRNA/messenger RNA balance, receptor-mediated intracellular signaling, and the stochastic gene expression required for nutrient-dependent … Sex differences: Liberals vs Conservatives (1)
For Alfred Russel Wallace, Natural Selection Opened the Door to Teleology 8/14/18 While natural selection was Darwin’s naturalistic drive train, Wallace found that natural selection opened the door to teleology. Where utility failed, teleology entered. The exaggerated forms that Wallace alluded to in his 1856 essay on the orangutan and the wonderful colors and plumage … Lewis Thomas (revisited): 90K (2)
Ed Yong sneaks up from behind with A New Clue to How Life Originated 8/12/19 A long-standing mystery about early cells has a solution—and it’s a rather magical one. The magic has been linked to claims that ecologically relevant “magic traits” must somehow be linked to the evolution of all biodiversity via the lineage from … Sunlight, hydrophobicity and biodiversity (3)
California festival shooter claimed to be of Iranian and Italian descent 7/30/19 …he invited people to read “Might Is Right,” an 1890 book advocating for Social Darwinism and claiming that Anglo-Saxons are a “superior race.” The book also attacks Christianity and Democracy. For a racist attack on Christianity that once was approved for use in … Bastardized health care (4)
Could the Big Bang be Wrong? …he came up with a complicated oscillating-universe model… The energy-dependent oscillations link light-activated carbon fixation from microRNA biogenesis to the genesis of all biodiversity via the Creation of ATP and the Creation of RNA, which links energy as information from the Creation of the sense of smell to the … MicroRNA biogenesis vs Big Bang abiogenesis
#VirusGate will help expose the pseudoscientific nonsense that failed to link the creation of the sun’s anti-entropic virucidal energy from What is Life? (1944) to biophysically constrained viral latency and healthy longevity in What is life when it is not protected from virus driven entropy (3/30/16) See for example: Rapid experimental evolution of reproductive isolation … QTLs: Your introduction to VirusGate (1)
