I reported research on microRNAs and the link from cell type differentiation to ecological adaptations when there were 47,000 indexed publications. See “From hydrogen atom transfer in DNA base pairs to ecosystems” 3/2/16 Link light-activated nutrient-dependent microRNA biogenesis to cell type differentiation via epigenesis and epistasis. It’s been 6 years, and there are now more … Photonics in Forensics (10)
Summary: Neil deGrasse Tyson and Lawrence Krauss are among those who have continued to substitute pseudoscientific nonsense for legitimate facts, which is what Hawking did in every book he ever wrote, and each time he made a spurious claim based on his abilities as a conniving theorist whose works still have not been confirmed-and-validated. Now … Polymaths and paradigm shifts: From Asimov to Bear (5)
Obama Advisers Urge Action Against CRISPR Bioterror Threat For the past two decades, the government has focused its biodefense efforts on a list of known pathogens—such as anthrax, smallpox, and Ebola—declared by the Department of Health and Human Services and Department of Agriculture to have the “potential to pose a severe threat to public health … RNA-mediated terrorism
See: Light energy-induced base pair changes (1) To help others move forward via the concept of energy-dependent biophysically constrained RNA-mediated protein folding and what is known about how virus-driven energy theft is linked to all pathology, see also: Subatomic Particles, Part 1: Leptons Subatomic Particles, Part 2: Baryons, the Substance of the Cosmos Subatomic Particles, … Light energy-induced base pair changes (2)
Semisynthetic organisms and synthetic biology Unintended Consequences of Expanding the Genetic Alphabet Conclusion: …phototoxicity results presented herein using a human skin cancer cell line are intended to create awareness to the scientific community of the potential unintended consequences of expanding the genetic alphabet with unnatural nucleosides like those used in this work. Reported as: Unintended consequences … Light energy-induced base pair changes (1)
Streamlining the E.coli Genetic Code Once the E. coli genome is pared down to 57 codons, the seven blank codons can be reintegrated and used to introduce nonstandard amino acids, the researchers have proposed; this would open the door to creating a wider range of proteins for industrial applications. A recoded genome also imparts resistance … Antithetical conclusions (7)
