How do parasite viruses worsen parasitic diseases?

It’s important to remember that people are not infected with both a parasite and a virus. Rather, people are infected with a parasite that has a virus hidden inside it. What we think happens is that immune cells kill some invading parasites, releasing the virus. The body then generates an immune response to fight off the virus. But when you’re infected with a parasite, this is the wrong kind of immune response. It doesn’t kill the parasite; it seems to help the parasite make the disease worse.

What makes the disease better?

Alternatively, see: A virus-bacteria coevolutionary ‘arms race’ solves diversity by ‘killing the winner’

Theoretical models of population dynamics have not presented a fully satisfactory explanation for what has come to be known as the diversity paradox.

And so they developed another theoretical model

Goldenfeld and Xue developed a stochastic model that accounts for multiple factors observed in ecosystems, including competition among species and simultaneous predation on the competing species. Using bacteria and their host-specific viruses as an example, the researchers showed that as the bacteria evolve defenses against the virus, the virus population also evolves to combat the bacteria. This “arms race” leads to a diverse population of both and to boom-bust cycles when a particular species dominates the ecosystem then collapses—the so-called “Kill the Winner” phenomenon. This coevolutionary arms race is sufficient to yield a possible solution to the diversity paradox.

For comparison: This was reported in 2005: A universal trend of amino acid gain and loss in protein evolution

We cannot conceive of a global external factor that could cause, during this time, parallel evolution of amino acid compositions of proteins in 15 diverse taxa that represent all three domains of life and span a wide range of lifestyles and environments. Thus, currently, the most plausible hypothesis is that we are observing a universal, intrinsic trend that emerged before the last universal common ancestor of all extant organisms.

The likelihood that the universal, intrinsic trend that emerged before the last universal common ancestor of all extant organisms was ignored again in this report Study of 385-million-year-old shark suggests humans and sharks shared common ancestor 440 million years ago.

To err is universal

Driving evolution are DNA mutations, errors in the genome that are introduced and passed along to the next generation, so that over time, providing the fuel for the invention of new adaptations or traits.

…if you don’t have this enzyme, then this error-free repair is stopped. You can’t do it. If you can’t do the error-free repair, among other things that happen is that you expect these cells to be cancer prone.

Career summary
I often wonder how I found myself in a career as a medical laboratory scientist at a time when some people still believe in mutation-driven evolution. See for comparison: The Darwin Code

Perhaps the most intriguing method of gene swapping in bacteria is the bacteriophage, or bacterial virus. Bacteriophages–phages for short–can either kill large numbers of host bacteria, reproducing rapidly, or lie dormant in the bacterial chromosome until the time is right for expression and release. Lytic phages almost invariably kill their hosts. But these latter types–known as lysogenic phages–can actually transport useful genes between hosts, and not just randomly, but in a targeted fashion. In fact, bacterial pathogens frequently rely on lysogenic phages to spread toxin genes throughout a population. Cholera populations become pathogenic in this fashion. In outbreaks of E. coli that cause illness in humans, lysogenic phages have transported genes from shigella–a related bacterial type–conferring the ability to produce shiga toxin, a potent poison.

RNA interference (RNAi) is an important defence against viruses and transposable elements (TEs). RNAi not only protects against viruses by degrading viral RNA, but hosts and viruses can also use RNAi to manipulate each other’s gene expression, and hosts can encode microRNAs that target viral sequences.

Claims about the evolution of food energy-dependent endogenous RNA interference have been made by biologically uninformed theorists.”Endogenous” is used to indicate that fact that RNA interference is an energy-dependent biophysically constrained example of creation.
See for details: Energy as information and constrained endogenous RNA interference
See for an example: AlmG, responsible for polymyxin resistance in pandemic Vibrio cholerae, is a glycyltransferase distantly related to lipid A late acyltransferases December 22, 2017
Reported as:  An unusual form of antibiotic resistance in pandemic cholera

AlmG is structured differently from other lipid A-modifying enzymes, with a different active site responsible for carrying out the modification. In addition, AlmG can add either one or two glycines to the same A molecule, which has also not been observed in other bacteria.

The enzymatic addition of achiral glycine in position 6 of the GnRH decapeptide helps to protect the organized genomes of all vertebrates from the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA that links mutations to all pathology.
For comparison, antibiotic resistance is driven by ecological adaptations in viruses. The viruses steal the quantized energy that host cells need to use for error free DNA repair of the cell membrane which contains quantized energy as information that is required for species-specific survival. If the availability of food is restricted, the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA is linked to all species-specific and cell type-specific pathology.

At least two flu strains are only a few mutations away from developing deadly human-to-human transmission. So how do we minimise the impact?

You minimize the impact by learning how quantized energy-dependent RNA-mediated biophysically constrained cell type differentiation occurs. Then, you stop claiming that different strains of the flu virus evolve.
The major antigenic changes of the influenza virus are primarily caused by a single amino acid near the receptor binding site.

The Spanish flu of 1918 remains the worst flu pandemic on record, but there have been several milder ones since (see chart, below). A pandemic is a global epidemic and, in theory, flu does that every year in the northern and southern winters. But with flu, the term is reserved for when an influenza A virus emerges that isn’t just a slightly mutated version of last winter’s flu, but a complete novelty, with surface proteins most people have no immunity to.

Novel viruses are constantly evolving in the birds, pigs and other animals that also carry influenza A, and they can shuffle their genes with human strains, or just adapt to mammals directly. Virologists consider flu pandemics inevitable. The World Bank says a bad one “

How much worse could it be? Spanish flu of 1918 killed 50 million people in a world with a much smaller population size and less ability to quickly travel from one part of the world to another.

Lethal virus kills 5 billion people?

Reporting new scientific truths is not allowed in the USA

Summary: If we keep training serious scientists in the United States but force them to return to their homeland to report new scientific truths, our Homeland Security will suffer from the ignorance of pseudoscientists who are still touting ridiculous claims about mutations and evolution.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.

Every great scientific truth goes through three stages. First, people say it conflicts with the Bible. Next they say it has been discovered before. Lastly they say they always believed it.

Sugar industry withheld evidence of sucrose’s health effects nearly 50 years ago

The results suggest that the current debate on the relative effects of sugar vs. starch may be rooted in more than 60 years of industry manipulation of science. Last year, the Sugar Association criticized a mouse study suggesting a link between sugar and increased tumor growth and metastasis, saying that “no credible link between ingested sugars and cancer has been established.”
 

First question: Why would they lie about a thing like that?

Second question: Who taught you to believe in them?

Face-saving attempts will continue to be made by everyone who taught anyone else to believe in the pseudoscientific nonsense about random mutations and evolution. Clearly, psychiatrists decided it was good for business to ensure a decline in mental health that should have been attributed to the effects of sugar.
 

I recognized the obvious link from glucose levels to triglycerides before the nonsense about cholesterol and heart disease became a means to support the medical practices of pill prescribing physicians. Only diabetics had levels of triglycerides that left a chalky-white to pink color in their plasma or serum. Ultracentrifugation was sometimes required or chemical “clearing” with mathematical corrections in order to report accurate results.

In his science fiction novels from 1999 and 2003, Greg Bear linked what was known about biophysically constrained food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations to the creation of a new more intelligent human subspecies that communicated with pheromones. They adapted to the virus-driven degradation of their messenger RNA, which has been linked from mutations to all pathology in species from archaea to non-human primates. Everything known to all serious scientists about biophysically constrained viral latency has since been placed into the context of refutations of neo-Darwinian pseudoscientific nonsense.

Perhaps the most intriguing method of gene swapping in bacteria is the bacteriophage, or bacterial virus. Bacteriophages–phages for short–can either kill large numbers of host bacteria, reproducing rapidly, or lie dormant in the bacterial chromosome until the time is right for expression and release. Lytic phages almost invariably kill their hosts. But these latter types–known as lysogenic phages–can actually transport useful genes between hosts, and not just randomly, but in a targeted fashion.

But remember that the quality of RNA begins with its energy-dependent creation and researchers recently made the claim that they had …revealed a surprising relationship between dementia and decreased quality of RNA—a key player in gene expression—in the more aged brain.
The decreased quality of the RNA has also been linked to the creation of the death gene via what is known about glioblastoma. A Harvard and MIT trained physicist reported that fact to me, and I could hardly believe how easy it was to confirm it that Abcam researchers knew about it ~20 years ago.

I look forward to the day when serious scientists in the United States can report their refutations of neo-Darwinian pseudoscientific nonsense without being ostracized by claims that serious scientists exist on the fringes of what is known to all other serious scientists in the world. The virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA links mutations to all pathology, not to the evolution of one species from another.

Conclusion:

Our work demonstrates one can introduce an active control to DNA conductance by modifying a base with a redox group, and switch the DNA conductance reversibly between two levels by oxidizing or reducing the redox group with an EC gate. This strategy could be implemented in more sophisticated DNA nanostructures for active device building blocks. As the DNA conductance is an indicator of the molecule in the reduction or oxidation state, it is possible to study redox reaction kinetics at the single-molecule level by monitoring the DNA conductance.

…the engineered DNA provides a nice tool to examine redox reaction kinetics, and thermodynamics the single molecule level…

This means they can examine virus-driven energy theft in the context of redox reaction kinetics and thermodynamics at the single molecule level, which links nutrient energy-dependent changes from angstroms to ecosystems via the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction in species from microbes to humans. Simply put, they can link virus-driven energy theft from mutations to all pathology in species from archaea to modern humans.

Darwin introduced a viewpoint that was radically unsettling: we don’t progress to a more perfect form, but adapt to local environments. If humans are machines, then we can simply repair the broken parts. But if there is something more fundamental to the crisis of life than mere mechanisms of biology, then risk, and an element of danger, will always be with us.

Humans are not machines. Bill Gates probably knows that. And he probably knows that theistic evolution is the threat that can now be placed into the context of Non-theistic evolution

The major criticism of theistic evolution by non-theistic evolutionists focuses on its essential belief in a supernatural creator. These critics argue that by the application of Occam’s razor, sufficient explanation of the phenomena of evolution is provided by natural processes (in particular, natural selection), and the intervention or direction of a supernatural entity is not required.[42] Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins considers theistic evolution a superfluous attempt to “smuggle God in by the back door”.[43]

God doesn’t need to be smuggled in. He’s always been with those who believe. Believers know that natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality occurs in the context of the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction. The physiology of energy-dependent reproduction links natural processes to fixation of amino acid substitutions in supercoiled DNA that differentiate the cell types of all living genera.

Supercoiled DNA protects all organized genomes from virus driven energy theft, which is linked to all pathology by mutations. Theistic evolutionists may continue to claim that they believe in mutation-driven evolution, but that’s because they known nothing about energy-dependent top-down causation.

Ask Bill Gates or a theistic evolutionist where the energy comes from, and see for comparison.

Charge-altering releasable transporters (CARTs) for the delivery and release of mRNA in living animals

CARTs are structurally unique and operate through an unprecedented mechanism, serving initially as oligo(alpha-amino ester) cations that complex, protect, and deliver mRNA and then change physical properties through a degradative, charge-neutralizing intramolecular rearrangement, leading to intracellular release of functional mRNA and highly efficient protein translation.

Reported as: A new way Forward for Gene Therapy

Sickle-cell disease is caused by a mutation that links the transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of virus-driven energy theft to failed nutrient energy-dependent RNA-mediated DNA repair. Hemoglobin S is a naturally occurring hemoglobin variant — one of more than 1200 other variants. The variants link RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions in the cell types of populations of ecologically adapted humans. Clearly, their lineages adapted to ecological variation in the parts of the world where they were raised. Researchers have delivered nutrient energy-dependent messenger RNA (mRNA) into cells that use the mRNA to make proteins. What’s missing from this report on gene therapy are facts about how nutrient energy-dependent viral latency must be linked to healthy longevity via energy-dependent changes in the microRNA/messenger RNA balance linked to amino acid substitutions in supercoiled DNA, or from virus-driven energy theft to all pathology.
I continue to encourage comments from those who are not Combating Evolution to Fight Disease, especially if they are willing to tell others what they like about virus-driven energy theft and all pathology. Now that Bill Gates has clearly stated that virus-driven energy theft is not likely to be a good thing for humanity, perhaps he will join the serious scientists and/or help to fund their works.

Q: Is the gut microbiome the most likely link from nutrient energy-dependent metabolic networks to genetic networks and Precision Medicine via the National Microbiome Initiative?

No we have not. We are working from functional gut microbiome up the gut-brain axis at this point and hoping to weave in as many other factors as possible.

Q: Who else is addressing the bidirectional communication besides your group?

There are many other groups evaluating the gut-brain connection in general, but not necessarily exclusive to ASD. I’d suggest a quick search in Pubmed for the latest groups involved in this area.

See for example from February 17, 2017: Regulation of mRNA splicing by MeCP2 via epigenetic modifications in the brain
Conclusion:

Our analysis thus indicated that MeCP2-mediated alternative splicing might influence neuronal functions via two different strategies: one is to regulate protein diversity by coding exons, and another is to regulate protein expression by non-coding exons. Our studies not only systematically explore the mechanisms underlying MeCP2-mediated alternative splicing, but also provide insights into the roles of MeCP2-mediated alternative splicing, which could influence both protein diversity and protein expression level in neurons.

Our 1996 Hormones and Behavior review explored the molecular mechanisms of RNA-mediated alternative splicings and nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled biophysically constrained protein folding chemistry in the context of the physiology of reproduction in species from microbes to humans.
See our molecular epigenetics section in From Fertilization to Adult Sexual Behavior

Small intranuclear proteins also participate in generating alternative splicing techniques of pre-mRNA and, by this mechanism, contribute to sexual differentiation in at least two species, Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans (Adler and Hajduk, 1994; de Bono, Zarkower, and Hodgkin, 1995; Ge, Zuo, and Manley, 1991; Green, 1991; Parkhurst and Meneely, 1994; Wilkins, 1995; Wolfner, 1988). That similar proteins perform functions in humans suggests the possibility that some human sex differences may arise from alternative splicings of otherwise identical genes.

If my co-authors and I had been funded to link what was known about biologically-based cell type differentiation in all species to their origins and from ecological variation to ecological adaptations in all living genera, you would not need to ask whether or not some or all of your loved ones will survive the viral apocalypse.
Nutrient energy-dependent sexual differentiation in yeasts at the advent of sexual reproduction has been linked to all cell type differentiation in all individuals of all species via the conserved molecular mechanisms of pheromone-controlled reproduction that we began to detail two decades ago.

…etiological models suggest that the biological male phenotype carries a higher intrinsic risk for ASD than the female phenotype. To our knowledge, this hypothesis has never been tested directly, and the neurobiological mechanisms that modulate ASD risk in male individuals and female individuals remain elusive.

The neurobiological mechanisms link sex differences in the cell types of yeasts to sex differences in virus-driven energy theft and all pathology.

Bear goes a little further in suggesting that such change can occur over about a generation, an idea that might be a little too radical at the moment. However, he does mention data suggesting that fruitflies can adapt to a new environment in just a few generations of selection.

Bear’s two Darwin novels were not written just to entertain. He also seeks to teach readers about science, to highlight our utilitarian politics and our inability to get along with each other, and to provide a quasi-rational basis for theology and morality. He advances a world view in which we are all part of the vast neural network of life, cutting across ethnic borders, species divides and the chasms between taxonomic kingdoms, in balance, and in two-way communication, with the ecosystem.

Bear qualifies to win the next Nobel Peace Prize, or minimally, the Prize for Literature. When you realize whose information is being used as a basis for the claims by Bill Gates that support young earth creationism, see also: Viral Genome Junk Is Bunk

SARCASM ALERT

The idea of biophysical constraints seems antithetical to the idea of nature somehow selecting mutations that cause amino acid substitutions. However, I am not a biophysicist or evolutionary theorist.

The problem may be my focus on nutrient-dependent receptor-mediated amino acid substitutions in species from bacteria to humans (non-viral organisms). Since I am not a virologist or physicist, I’m not sure that the laws of physics apply to viruses and their replication.

If they do, natural selection for random mutations is not likely to result in amino acid substitutions because the thermodynamics of changes in organism-level thermoregulation preclude such randomness. Stability of protein biosynthesis and degradation that probably depends on protein folding must somehow be controlled. Besides, I don’t know how random mutations in viruses could be naturally selected for inclusion in the human virome (or in the virome of any organism capable of thermoregulating its thermodynamic intercellular signaling).

If the Second Law of Thermodynamics does not apply to viruses, which means the chemical bonds that enable the amino acid substitutions can form at random and somehow be naturally selected, the details of biophysical constraints in this article seems out of place, since I do not think in terms of constrained random mutations and natural selection in mutation-driven evolution.

Hopefully, someone with a background in biophysics will address my confusion in case others are confused. In addition, I wonder if the consequences of understanding the evolutionary mechanisms that govern viruses extend to consequences important to understanding the evolution of species from bacteria to humans via constrained random mutations and natural selection?

People with a background in biophysics or computer models of biophysically constrained top-down causation have addressed the confusion about random mutations and natural selection in mutation-driven evolution. Simply put, there is no such thing as natural selection for random mutations, which means there no such thing as the evolution of one species from another.

Perhaps the most intriguing method of gene swapping in bacteria is the bacteriophage, or bacterial virus. Bacteriophages–phages for short–can either kill large numbers of host bacteria, reproducing rapidly, or lie dormant in the bacterial chromosome until the time is right for expression and release.

Also, see this Google search for “virus-driven energy theft.”
My claim follows the claims Greg Bear has been making during the past 2-3 decades. All energy-dependent changes, which link angstroms to ecosystems in all living genera, are biophysically constrained by the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction in species from microbes to humans.
Is it coincidental or providential that Bill Gates finally admits to what serious scientists have known for more than 2 decades about the forthcoming viral apocalypse?
The viral apocalypse will not be prevented by vaccines because viruses adapt to quickly. The facts about the energy-dependent adaptations of viruses compared to hosts are known to all serious scientists.

Amino acids and virus penetration

For an example of the ocean of information you must swim through to get to an important fact about virus-driven energy theft and all pathology, see:

The bacteriophage ϕ29 tail possesses a pore-forming loop for cell membrane penetration (June 15, 2016)

They citePrDOS: prediction of disordered protein regions from amino acid sequence” (2007).

Excerpt:

We have also developed a system to predict disordered regions from the amino acid sequence. Our system is composed of two predictors, that is, a predictor based on the local amino acid sequence, and one based on template proteins (or homologous proteins for which structural information is available).

The June 15, 2016 article does not mention this fact: “The major antigenic changes of the influenza virus are primarily caused by a single amino acid near the receptor binding site.”(2013)

The theft of quantized energy that links the amino acid substitution in the virus to pathology is an important consideration. Without the energy theft, RNA methylation would link hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs in solution to energy-dependent changes in angstroms that are required for to link energy to healthy longevity in the context of ecosystem complexity and biodiversity that links microbes to humans via the physiology of reproduction.

Excerpt:

we have identified m6A as a novel regulator of miRNA processing. Our findings reveal that METTL3 methylates primary inter- and intragenic miRNAs. The  m6A modification facilitates the recognition of pri-miRNA sequences and marks an initiation event in miRNA biogenesis (Fig. 4i) We propose that the m6A mark on transcripts at pri-miRNA sequences initiates a global co-transcriptional program comprising the engagement and processing of primary miRNAs by the microprocessor machinery.The m6A mark thus has an important role in the nucleus—allowing the microprocessor complex to recognize its specific substrates as opposed to unintended secondary structures. Additionally, altered METTL3 expression in various human malignancies may contribute to the aberrant expression of miRNAs seen in cancer.

Excerpt:

All these results confirmed that m6A modification can alter its local RNA structure and enhance the accessibility of its base-paired residues or nearby regions to modulate protein binding (Fig. 1f). We term this mechanism that regulates RNA–protein interactions through m6A-dependent RNA structural remodelling ‘the m6A-switch’.

My comment: What are others calling the m6A-switch, which appears to link hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs in solution from energy-dependent changes in the microRNA/messenger RNA balance to the Structural diversity of supercoiled DNA?

My comment: Theorists have ignored what serious scientists have detailed in the context of energy-dependent RNA methylation and cell type differentiation that must link learning and memory from ecological variation to ecological adaptation via the conserved molecular mechanisms of protein folding biochemistry that link metabolic networks to genetic networks.  The amount of ignorance is overwhelming, and the theorists are not attempting to inform themselves.

The Darwin Code by Greg Bear

My comment: Science fiction author Greg Bear linked what is known about viruses from the portrayal of bacteriophages in “Arrowsmith” to what is known today. He portrayed the role of viruses that linked ecological variation to the epigenetically-effected ecological adaptation of a new human subspecies.  He integrated everything currently known to serious scientists about biophysically constrained nutrient-dependent RNA-mediated cell type differentiation in “Darwin’s Radio” and “Darwin’s Children” and predicted forthcoming terrorism in “Quantico.”

My comment: Does this remind anyone else of a one-sided nonorientable surface obtained by cutting a closed band into a single strip with linked ends that can be used to represent infinity or eternity?
If so, do you think it could be used to represent the complexity of an atoms to ecosystems model of biologically-based top down causation from the sun’s virucidal anti-entropic force to the biophysically constrained chemistry of RNA-mediated protein folding, which links microRNAs and adhesion proteins to supercoiled DNA that protect organized genomes from virus-driven genomic entropy?
If not, could it be placed into the context of neo-Darwinian evolution by a serious scientist?

My comment: If an ant were to crawl along the length of this strip, it would return to its starting point having traversed the entire length of the strip (on both sides of the original paper) without ever crossing an edge. Could the nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled RNA-mediated chemistry of biophysically constrained protein folding be linked from the analemma to this strip without first considering Darwin’s “conditions of life.”

If not, could the ant’s behavior, or the behavior of any species still be placed into the context of creation or infinity or eternity by any serious scientist who knew how to link atoms to ecosystems?

The presentation I saw was made at least a decade ago.

Communication with light is obviously linked to nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled reproduction in ants, which is why the conference featured someone from outside the field as a keynote speaker. It was the Association for Chemoreception Sciences (AChemS), and my colleagues have since dismissed evidence of human pheromones and all other evidence that links quantum physics to quantum chemistry and quantum biology to quantum consciousness. I think they may not want to consider the details that serious scientists have provided on Hydrogen-Atom Transfer in DNA Base Pairs.

Unfortuntely, AChemS have probably by now fallen at least two decades behind the experimental evidence that links the speed of light on contact with water to nutrient-dependent RNA-mediate cell type differentiation in species from microbes to humans.

See, for example:

Antiviral action of carbonyl-conjugated pentaene macrolides

Abstract:

Clear antiviral activity of carbonyl-conjugated pentaene macrolides, such as flavofungin, mycothicin, brunefungin and flavopentin was shown on models with infectious and oncogenic viruses. The antibiotics were active against influenza A and B virus. The effect was most pronounced in the in vitro and in ovo systems. On a model of experimental influenza infection of mice with the lethal outcome, antiinfluenzal activity of flavofungin was comparable to that of remantadin. However, unlike the latter one flavofungin and brunefungin inhibited the growth of influenza B virus. The drugs had a pronounced inhibitory effect on variolavaccine virus and prevented formation of foci of cell neoplastic transformation infected with various strains of Rous sarcoma virus.

My comment: Does UV absorbance link the conjugated pentaene moiety to morphological changes in color via the virucidal effects of the sun’s biological energy?
Is this an acceptable representation of biologically-based cause and effect for comparison?

Mongrel Microbe Tests Story of Complex Life

Excerpt:

  1. Since biologists can’t travel back in time, they search surviving life-forms for clues. But no detectable intermediates between ancient, single-celled life and early eukaryotes exist, making it nearly impossible to reconstruct the order of evolutionary events. “When something only happens once, it’s hard to grapple with the problem,” Archibald said. “We’re left studying the DNA sequence of modern organisms and trying to piece it together.”
  2. A newly discovered class of microbe could help to resolve one of the biggest and most controversial mysteries in evolution—how simple microbes transformed into the complex cells that produced animals, plants and fungi.
  3. Most biologists agree that at some point around two billion years ago, one featureless cell swallowed another, and the two began to work together as one. But the details of this process—whether this symbiosis jump-started an evolutionary process, or whether it happened midway along the path to eukaryotes—continue to drive huge disputes in the field. One group theorizes that eukaryotes emerged in a rapid burst, driven by the acquisition of the cellular energy factories known as mitochondria.

My comment:  When I see the claim that most biologists agree that something happened two billion years ago, I wonder if any of those who agree are biologically uninformed. Nearly all the molecular biologists I know have linked experimental evidence of biologically-based cause and effect from atoms to ecosystems in all living genera via RNA-mediated events. The gene-centric pseudoscientific nonsense about “…studying the DNA sequence of modern organisms and trying to piece it together” to fit something happened two billion years ago began to fall out of favor as soon when intelligent researchers realized that the Watson and Crick model of a static DNA double helix was absurdly simplistic.
It takes a huge leap of faith to continue to believe in gene-centric models of  something that happened two billion years ago given what is known to serious scientists about the how the dynamic structure of DNA links ecological variation to ecological adaptation in all living genera.

Evolutionary biologists claim natural selection occurs in the context of “jump-like” energy changes that de Vries called mutations in 1904.  I don’t know of any evidence that links the mutations to the creation of new genes, which is required to link mutations to the evolution of increasing organismal complexity. For contrast, I do know of experimental evidence that links the sun’s biological/virucidal energy to RNA-mediated cell type differentiation. More of it is published every week. I will take a leap of faith to jump across the energy levels that link the speed of light on contact with water to RNA-mediated cell type differentiation before any more information is published.
See for instance: Single-chip microprocessor that communicates directly using light
Reported as: Engineers demo first processor that uses light for ultrafast communications
Excerpt: “No other processor has the photonic I/O in the chip.”

My comment: They explain the physical constraints of a “…process originally thought to be hostile to photonic components.” For instance, even after they got the light onto the chip, they “…needed to find a way to control it so that it can carry bits of data.” They needed to modulate the flow of data/information contained in the fast and low-energy of light, via use of germanium instead of water that slows the speed of light on contact in whatever vessel contains the water.

SARCASM ALERT: They could not use water in geraniums or other flowers. That use would be based on the existing design that enables the sun’s biological energy to modulate the energy of all cell types in all individuals of all living genera in the context of their biophysically constrained nutrient-dependent supercoiled DNA that protects their organized genomes from virus-driven entropy. Someone else already used that design, so these researchers could not claim to be the first to do so.

Excerpt:

…the classic question of what processes maintain the diversity of species is to ask what processes explain the dispersion of traits among community members.

My comment: The classic answer is that nutrient-dependent microRNAs biophysically constrain RNA-mediated protein folding in the context of the physiology of reproduction that enables fixation of amino acid substitutions in supercoiled DNA, which stabilizes organized genomes and protects all living genera from virus-driven entropy.
That classic answer was provided  in our section on molecular epigenetics in the context of our 1996 Hormones and Behavior review. Many researchers did not like the answer because two of the people it came from were from outside academia. That’s embarrassing, but it will be more embarrassing to them after the next AAAS meeting in February and Pittcon Conference & Expo in March. I say that because neo-Darwinism has been replaced by what is known about how ecological variation is linked to ecological adaptations. Serious scientist are presenting models that link atoms to ecosystems via nutrient energy-dependent base pair substitutions and RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions. No pseudoscientists can be found at AAAS meetings. No one there will be linking de Vries definition of “mutation” to evolution via sudden energy jumps and natural selection. Serious scientists understand the fact that they must link physics to chemistry and biology via behavior.
See also: Quantum leap
Excerpt:

…there are plenty of proposals for how to ramp up the size of objects with proven quantum behaviour: a microscopic mirror in a quantum superposition, created through interaction with a photon, would involve about 1014 atoms. And, letting their imaginations run wild, researchers have proposed a method to do the same with small biological structures such as viruses.

My comment: A link to quantum behavior that starts with viruses makes it appear that someone else is very close to recognizing the role that viruses play in linking quantum physics to energy-dependent RNA-mediated protein folding chemistry and cell type differentiation? If so, what are they waiting to tell us? What are they reading in the waiting room?
It doesn’t take very long to scan articles like these to see if they fit into the context of neo-Darwinian theory or into the context of models that link atoms to ecosystems.
1) Researchers observe one of the world’s fastest chemical reactions for the first time
2) Isolating water’s impact on vibrations within DNA
3) Base-pairing protects DNA from UV damage
My comment: If base pairing protects DNA from UV damage, RNA-mediated events can easily be used to link amino acid substitutions to the stability of organized genomes. For example, in Escape from Lethal Bacterial Competition through Coupled Activation of Antibiotic Resistance and a Mobilized Subpopulation, the authors linked the virucidal speed of UV light from the nutrient-dependent RNA-mediated physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction in an ecological niche with two competing species. They reported their results in the context of mutations linked to antibiotic resistance as if they believe in the pseudoscientific nonsense about evolution touted by Richard Lenski.
What about DNA repair, you ask? Welcome to an example of the ignorance displayed by another generation of biologically uninformed theorists who cannot link atoms to ecosystems in all living genera by what is known to serious scientists. Simply put, antibiotic resistance is a nutrient-dependent RNA-mediated ecological adaptation that occurs in the context of the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction in all living genera.
Viruses cause mutations that prevent the required links from metabolic and genetic networks to supercoiled DNA in the organized genomes of ecologically adapted species. Someone I know seems to be very close to reporting which specific virus in a species of bacteria causes accumulated mutations that lead to loss of function. But other researchers, like Lenski, are reporting gain of function mutations. There is no such thing.
Mutations perturb protein folding, which is why the energy theft by viruses is linked to pathology, not to the evolution of new species — except by biologically uninformed theorists.
This article about Lethal Bacterial Competition was reported as: Bacteria battle: How one changes appearance, moves away to resist the other
My comments: Nothing supports claims of evolution in the context of changes in morphological or behavioral phenotypes in any species. Ecological variation is linked to ecological adaptation in species from microbes to human via the conserved molecular mechanisms of nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations in morphological and behavioral phenotypes. Each day, more support for models of biologically-based cause and effect link atoms to ecosystems via nutrient energy-dependent base pair substitutions and RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions that differentiate all cell types in all individuals of all living genera.

For examples, see:

1) Chemical cues turn embryonic stem cells into cerebellar neurons

2) Coordinated and Compartmentalized Neuromodulation Shapes Sensory Processing in Drosophila

3) Study links epigenetic processes to the development of the cerebellar circuitry
4) Identification of methylated deoxyadenosines in vertebrates reveals diversity in DNA modifications reported as: Epigenetic discovery suggests DNA modifications more diverse than previously thought
All the epigenetically effected DNA modifications eventually will be linked by all serious scientists from RNA-mediated events that link the epigenetic landscape to the physical landscape of supercoiled DNA via nutrient-dependent amino acid substitutions, which are fixed in the organized genomes of all living genera via their physiology of reproduction.
For example, in a forthcoming symposium, Moshe Szyf  is scheduled to present Nurture Alters Nature through Epigenetic Modifications of DNA
Description:

Dr Szyf will present evidence that the “social environment” early in life can alter DNA methylation, the basis for the emerging field of “social epigenetics”. By highlighting the impact that external factors and the social environment can have on gene expression, he will provide a mechanistic basis for the long term effects of early childhood experience.

If all goes well, I will attend Pittcon in Atlanta, Georgia and learn more about how microRNAs link physics, chemistry, and the conserve molecular mechanisms of RNA-mediated cell type differentiation in all living genera and I will also sell RNA-mediated.com to the highest bidder.
It is pointless to do more than I have done in the past twenty years to present accurate information about biologically-based cause and effect to theorists who do not want to examine the experimental evidence because they prefer to believe in ridiculous theories.
See for comparison: Revealing the density of encoded functions in a viral RNA and Direct Evidence for Packaging Signal-Mediated Assembly of Bacteriophage MS2
The facts that link experimental evidence to what we detailed in the context of our 1996 Hormones and Behavior review in our section on molecular epigenetics. All representations of virus-driven pathology link nature and nurture to healthy longevity or to virus-driven pathology associated with the choices made by individuals, not by mutations unless inappropriate choices have been made in the past that are linked across generations to the need to make better choices or become extinct due to virus-driven genomic entropy.
So far, because of our poor choices, it appears that the viruses will win the battle for Hydrogen-Atom Transfer in DNA Base Pairs and neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory will kill us all. Neo-Darwinian theorists failed to grasp the wonder of a living cell, and they are not likely to try.
See:

Excerpt (with my emphasis): And these micro-machines really are at the heart of life. These micro-machines, which are the envy of nanotechnologists the world over, are self-directed, powerful, precise, accurate devices that are made out of strings of amino acids. And these micro-machines power how a cell moves. They power how a cell replicates. They power our hearts. They power our minds.
My comment: The importance of the strings of amino acids has repeatedly been stressed. Do you know where they come from?
Do you think that Dobzhansky knew how to link the light of evolution to the strings of amino acids? Was he just speculating or did he know that sunlight must be linked to the nutrient-dependent RNA-mediated cell type differentiation of all cell types in all individuals of all living genera when he wrote: Nothing in Biology Makes Any Sense Except in the Light of Evolution.
Here are two clues to what Dobzhansky knew about the light of evolution.

  1. For example, the so-called alpha chains of hemoglobin have identical sequences of amino acids in man and the chimpanzee, but they differ in a single amino acid (out of 141) in the gorilla. ( p. 127)
  2. It is wrong to hold creation and evolution as mutually exclusive alternatives. I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God’s, or Nature’s, method of Creation. Creation is not an event that happened in 4004 B.C.; it is a process that began some 10 billion years ago and is still under way.

My comment: No one knows what began 10 billion years ago. Dobzhansky must have been joking.  Ecological variation has since been linked from the speed of light to nutrient-dependent RNA-mediated DNA repair in all living genera via the conserved molecular mechanisms that link amino acid substitutions to cell type differentiation in all cell types of all individuals of all living genera. Clearly, whether or not he knew it, Dobzhansky’s light of evolution is the sunlight that links ecological variation to ecological adaptation and all biodiversity.

My comment: The deep history of the missing link is presented in the context of ~10,000 years of human morphological and behavioral diversity.  The diversity is linked to the nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled morphological and behavioral diversity of microbes via the RNA-mediated events that link cell type differentiation from atoms to ecosystems in all living genera.

Excerpt:

In summary, the spectrum of protein-coding variation is considerably different today compared to what existed as recently as 200 to 400 generations ago. Of the putatively deleterious protein-coding SNVs, 86.4% arose in the last 5,000 to 10,000 years, and they are enriched for mutations of large effect (Supplementary Fig. 14) as selection has not had sufficient time to purge them from the population.

That fact was placed into the context of:

The palaeolithic diet and the unprovable links to our past

Excerpt:

The picture is rapidly emerging that genetics play a pretty minor role in determining the specifics of our diet. Our physical and cultural environment mostly determines what we eat.

That fact was placed into the context of: Feedback loops link odor and pheromone signaling with reproduction
My comment: That links facts across species to a picture that has not emerged rapidly. Instead, all facts about nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations must be included in reports by science journalists who have ignored all facts about biologically based cause and effect.  Now, they must report on conference presentations instead of published works. Until the journalists catch up to what is known to serious scientists, they will be subjected to ridicule by all serious scientists who have published peer-reviewed articles that link nutritional epigenetics and pharmacogenomics in modern human populations.
In the context of models that link atoms to ecosystems, the deep history of the missing link is the physiology of reproduction.
See for example:

The findings confirm their earlier work suggesting that the majority of variants, including potentially harmful ones, were picked up during the past 5,000–10,000 years.

My comment: One reason that science journalists have never reported on my conference presentations or my series of published works that link biologically-based cause and effect to the conserved molecular mechanisms of RNA-mediated cell type differentiation in species from microbes to humans may be that they have been too busy reporting pseudoscientific nonsense about mutations and the evolution of new species over billions of years.  They may have been too busy to realize that all serious scientists have been linking atoms to ecosystems since Schrodinger (1944) told them about the sun’s anti-entropic energy and Dobzhansky (1973) linked a single nutrient-dependent RNA-mediated amino acid substitution to cell type differentiation in chimpanzees and modern humans compared to gorillas.

Exploration of Putative Riboswitches Involved in Bacteriophage Temperate Life Cycle

Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first time that putative riboswitches have been located in an actinobacteriophage genome. These findings suggest that riboswitches may have functioned as metabolite sensors in primitive organisms, and actinobacteriophage and modern cells still retain some of the ancient regulatory control systems. We postulate that riboswitches are able to regulate phage gene expression and are, therefore, able to control the transition from a lysogenic to a lytic lifestyle.
