Researchers use sunlight to produce chemicals and energy Excerpt: “It has always been right beneath our noses, and yet no one has ever taken note: Photosynthesis by way of the sun doesn’t just allow things to grow; the same principles can be applied to break plant matter down, allowing the release of chemical substances. In … Molecular Diagnostics: What is unprotected life (3)
NORAD may refer to: North American Aerospace Defense Command… that provides aerospace… defense for North America Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation Noradrenaline, a hormone and a neurotransmitter with multiple biological roles My comment: The modern use of radar includes air-defense systems and ocean surveillance systems. High tech radar systems are designed to use the systems … NORAD: air defense and defense against genomic entropy
Ghosts in the Genome How one generation’s experience can affect the next By Oliver J. Rando | December 1, 2015 My comment: “…epigenetic information carriers include covalent modifications to nucleotides and histones, providing a wide variety of mechanisms that enable organisms to transmit information extragenomically.” When this was placed into its proper perspective, it … RNA-mediated theory killers (3)
See also: RNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms link microbes to humans and RNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms link microbes to humans (2) Regulation of gene expression The effects of miRNA dysregulation of gene expression seem to be important in cancer.[10] For instance, in gastrointestinal cancers, a 2015 paper identified nine miRNAs as epigenetically altered and effective in down-regulating DNA … RNA-mediated regulatory mechanisms link microbes to humans (3)

Odorant receptor gene choice and axonal wiring in mice with deletion mutations in the odorant receptor gene SR1 Abstract: In the mouse, a mature olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) of the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) expresses one allele of one of the 1200 odorant receptor (OR) genes in the genome. The mechanisms that underlie the one … RNA-mediated everything
Janus: …is the god of beginnings and transitions,[1] and thereby of gates, doors, doorways, passages and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past. My comment: Nutrient-dependent beginnings of morphological and behavioral diversity are biophysically constrained by the physiology of species-specific RNA-mediated DNA repair … A two-faced protein enables RNA-mediated DNA repair
Cells or Animals: Which model is better? Excerpt: …animal models allow testing on intact physiological systems of many cell types simultaneously. Excerpt: …it is important to note that human and rodent physiology is not identical, and even sophisticated animal models can have shortcomings. My comment: For comparison to neo-Darwinian theories, it is more important to … Models are not theories (1)
First Complete Pictures of Cells’ DNA-Copying Machinery Excerpt: This architecture could also potentially play an important role in developmental biology by providing a pathway for treating the two daughter strands differently. Many modifications to DNA, including how it is packaged with other proteins, control which of the many genes in the sequence are eventually expressed … The virome, microbiome, replisome and supercoiled DNA
