2018 March for Science vs microRNAs (2)

The anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight on contact with water has been linked from the creation of ATP synthase to the creation of ATP and to the creation of RNA. Energy-dependent RNA-mediated DNA repair has been linked to biophysically constrained viral latency via the creation of microRNAs and feedback loops linked to the food energy-dependent microRNA-mediated physiology of reproduction. The physiology of energy-dependent pheromone-controlled reproduction biophysically constrains viral latency in the context of the creation of the innate immune system and autophagy.
See: miRNA regulation of innate immunity (4/14/18)
None of the facts about the energy-dependent creation of the microRNAs or the microRNA-mediated regulation of innate immunity are included in: The Transcription Factor Runx3 Establishes Chromatin Accessibility of cis-Regulatory Landscapes that Drive Memory Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte Formation (4/17/18)
The regulatory landscape that drive memory cytotoxic T lymphocyte formation might just as well be framed in the context of magic or in the equally ridiculous context of gene-centric theories.
See this report: Your immune system holds the line against repeat invaders, thanks to this molecule

Runx3’s control of T cell differentiation is important because when our bodies fight off viruses and cancers—and our T cells burst into action—the vast majority tend to become effector cells. These effector cells are short-lived and do not persist once the infection resolves.

The control of all cell type differentiation is energy-dependent, RNA-mediated and biophysically constrained by the physiology of reproduction in all living genera. The cell biology game “Cytosis” for ages 10+ teaches the facts that link Schrödinger (1944) What is Life? to Schrödinger at 75 – The Future of Biology – September 2018
In 1944, Schrödinger wrote:

Indeed, in the case of higher animals we know the kind of orderliness they feed upon well enough, viz. the extremely well-ordered state of matter in more or less complicated organic compounds, which serve them as foodstuffs. After utilizing it they return it in a very much degraded form -not entirely degraded, however, for plants can still make use of it. (These, of course, have their most power supply of ‘negative entropy’ the sunlight.)

See for comparison (this gene-centric pseudoscientific nonsense):
– Part I: FINDING THE CODE (Run time: 12:10
The race to sequence the human genome was also billed as a race to end disease. What happened?

– Part II: FIXING THE CODE (Run time: 13:07)
CRISPR — and the promise and pain of gene therapy that came before it. 

– Part III: SELLING THE CODE (Run time: 10:55)
Genetic testing has moved out of the labs into the masses. But even with your genome in hand, what can you believe?
The gene-centric pseudoscientific nonsense does not start with the creation of energy.  But every aspect of biophysically constrained life on Earth starts with the quantized energy-dependent creation of microRNAs. The epigenetically effected energy-dependent microRNA-mediated creation of the “Code” and the microRNA-mediated fixing of the “Code” is missing from the claims of biologically uninformed theorists who link beneficial mutations from natural selection to evolution. They have sold their gene-centric pseudoscientific nonsense to many people.
For example, some gene-centric biologically uninformed theorists share beliefs about abiogenesis for comparison to quantized energy-dependent microRNA biogenesis in articles like this: DNA Denaturing through UV-C Photon Dissipation: A Possible Route to Archean Non-enzymatic Replication
Conclusion:

Many of the fundamental molecules of life, those common to all three domains; bacteria, eukaryote, and archea, including RNA and DNA, amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, cofactors, and protoporphyrins, absorb photons in the UV-C 1. RNA or DNA in complexes with these molecules act as acceptor quenchers, providing the electronically excited pigment donor molecule with an extremely rapid (sub picosecond) non-radiative dexcitation channel, through internal conversion into vibrational energy of the nucleic acid and surrounding water molecules2.

See John Hewitt’s comment: You have just described the founding principle and thermodynamic function of life
In a classic example of human idiocy (See Feynman: food energy), biologically uninformed science idiots linked the dissipation of quantized energy to the origin of life via abiogenesis. The creation of biophysically constrained biophotonicaly based life in the context of the energy-dependent creation of microRNAs was reported in the context of photon dissipation and entropy as: Abiogenesis: A Theory on The Origins of Life

By now, we all know how evolution works. At least, most of us have a basic understanding of how it functions. At its most fundamental level, evolution is change over time. More specifically, it is changes within a biological population over successive generations.

Ultimately, biological complexity is one of the most important things to come out of evolution. Things started simple. Then genes mutated, cells interacted with their environment, mitochondria stopped being living organisms and started being part of a cell and—Tada—complex life.

A conflict arose between John Hewitt’s accurate representations of biophysically constrained life in The vibrational theory of olfaction for the win  and few months ago, Hewitt blocked me from seeing his tweets.

The same kinds of amino acid substitutions that control the separations and interactions of side chains in fluorescent proteins also play an essential role in tuning the proposed mechanism for vibration detection—inelastic electron tunneling. Life literally runs on electron tunneling through the respiratory chain complexes in mitochondria. These proteins employ complicated mechanisms including esoteric-soundings things like electron bifurcation and confurcation to pump protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane. When mitochondria go dark, cells can often continue to run for a short while, but it is only in the dim glow of the battery backup metabolism.

Here are some links to the reason for the conflict. Simply put, John Hewitt put everything known to serious scientists about energy-dependent microRNA biogenesis back into the context of abiogenesis.
2005 MicroRNA biogenesis: coordinated cropping and dicing
2015 Dysregulation of microRNA biogenesis and gene silencing in cancer
2015 RNA-mediated degradation of microRNAs: A widespread viral strategy?
Claims about abiogenesis exemplify what Richard Feynman referred to as human idiocy. So does John Hewitt and anyone else who believes in Michaelian’s pseudoscientific nonsense.
See other examples of Michaelian’s pseudoscientific nonsense and human idiocy by clicking here.
The energy-dependent creation of one domain of life links the physiology of reproduction in bacteria to biophysically constrained viral latency. The virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA is linked to the destruction of all life on Earth.
The degradation of messenger RNA links mutations to the creation of archaea and L-forms via entropy, which clearly links the weakening of the proton motive force to the elimination of the cell wall in L-forms (the last remnants of creation).

If you cannot link the miRNA regulation of innate immunity to all extant biodiversity via the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction and fixation of energy-dependent microRNA-mediated amino acid substitutions, thank a biologically uniformed science idiot.
 

An evolutionary theory killer

Polymaths and paradigm shifts: from Asimov to Bear (1)

Summary: In the context of what is known about how top-down causation must be linked to all biodiversity on Earth, the anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight links differences in the energy of two photons from the proton motive force to the creation of microRNAs. The link from the proton motive force to the creation of microRNAs is endogenous RNA interference (RNAi). Endogenous RNAi is manifested as energy-dependent differences in biophysically constrained viral latency.
Biophysically constrained viral latency has been linked to healthy longevity in all living genera from what appears to be the “dawn of creation.”
See: Conceptual Insights, Energy Transformations in Oxidative Phosphorylation (2002)

View this media module for an animated, interactive summary of how electron transfer potential is converted into proton-motive force and, finally, phosphoryl transfer potential in oxidative phosphorylation.

See: Section 18.4A Proton Gradient Powers the Synthesis of ATP
Place what is known to all serious scientists about the proton motive force into the context of energy-dependent electron transfer potential.
See also: Chemiosmosis

…the term proton-motive force (PMF)… can be described as the measure of the potential energy stored as a combination of proton and voltage (electrical potential) gradients across a membrane. The electrical gradient is a consequence of the charge separation across the membrane (when the protons H+ move without a counterion, such as chloride Cl).

See: Search results for proton motive force
On February 2, 2018 and on February 26, 2018 I linked the claim that Permeability transition in human mitochondria persists in the absence of peripheral stalk subunits of ATP synthase (2017) to findings on RNA-RNA interactions in The C. elegans heterochronic gene lin-4 encodes small RNAs with antisense complementarity to lin-14  (1993) This link opens the to free pdf

Two small lin-4 transcripts of approximately 22 and 61 nt were identified in C. elegans and found to contain sequences complementary to a repeated sequence element in the 3′ untranslated region (UTR) of lin-14 mRNA, suggesting that lin-4 regulates lin-14 translation via an antisense RNA-RNA interaction.

The small lin-4 transcripts of approximately 22 and 61 nt were subsequently referred to as pre-mRNAs before the term pre-mRNA became microRNA as the number of nucleotides (nt) was reduced to 22 in the context of more than 70,000 published works on microRNAs. See: microRNA
In the context of what is known about how top-down causation must be linked to all biodiversity on Earth, the anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight links differences in the energy of two photons from the proton motive force to the creation of microRNAs. The link from the proton motive force to the creation of microRNAs is endogenous RNA interference (RNAi).

…except for very few and marginal variations, it is the same from bacteria to man, the RNA stretch: 5′ GUGUUC 3′ reads as the dipeptide: Val-Phe in bacteria, in yeast, in Arabidopsis, in zebra fish, in mouse and in human. A degree of ambiguity is possible if mutations are introduced in the tRNAs in a way that the anticodon reads one amino acid but the aminoacyl-transferase attaches a different one onto the tRNA.

…most of the time, only one of the photons has high energy, while the other must carry very little energy indeed…

In 2013 Isaac Asimov Memorial Debate:The Existence of Nothing, Neil deGrasse Tyson made this spurious claim:

Isaac Asimov, “…perhaps, the last polymath of our civilization.”

A polymath should be required to link quantum physics from quantum chemistry to biophysically constrained viral latency and all biodiversity. Wide-ranging knowledge should include what is known about the conserved molecular mechanisms that link the food energy-dependent physiology of reproduction to ecological adaptations in species from microbes to humans.
Eshel Ben-Jacob and Greg Bear are polymaths. Isaac Asimov was not.
Eshel Ben-Jacob presciently linked Learning from Bacteria about Natural Information Processing (2009)  to the biophysically constrained viral latency Greg Bear placed into the context of the creation of a new human species in two books reviewed in Nature:
Evolution rising from the grave (2000)
Living with the Neanderthals (2003)
See also: Dependence of RNA synthesis in isolated thymus nuclei on glycolysis, oxidative carbohydrate catabolism and a type of “oxidative phosphorylation” (1964)
Polymaths should be able to recognize patterns that link photophosphorylation and oxidative phosphorylation from the creation of enzymes to biophysically constrained RNA-mediated DNA repair, which links ecological variation from phytoremediation to ecological adaptations in all living genera. Anyone who fails to do that in the context of the weekend resurrection of the bacterial flagellum in P. fluorescens should be called a biologically uninformed theorist or a science journalist who has no excuse for reporting pseudoscientific nonsense.
The only way to resurrect the bacterial flagellum over-the-weekend involves what is known as the proton motive force. Fro example: A twitter search for “proton motive force” led me to this claim, thanks to Nigel Ten Fleming

Enzyme-bound ATP forms readily in the absence of a proton-motive force.

In the context of Energy Transformations in Oxidative Phosphorylation (2002), that claim was followed by this claim:

…the role of the proton gradient is not to form ATP but to release it from the synthase.

See also:

If the aspartate residue is protonated to its neutral form, the c ring can now rotate, but only in a clockwise direction. Such a rotation moves the newly protonated aspartic acid residue into contact with the membrane, moves the charged aspartate residue from contact with the matrix half-channel to the cytosolic half-channel, and moves a different protonated aspartic acid residue from contact with the membrane to the matrix half-channel. The proton can then dissociate from aspartic acid and move through the half-channel into the proton-poor matrix to restore the initial state. This dissociation is favored by the positive charge on a conserved arginine residue ( 210) in the a subunit.

The difference in the energy of photons was linked from protons to hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs in solution. The energy-dependent biophysically constraints link microRNA-mediated cell type differentiation from the RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions to the differences in all cell types in all individuals of all living genera.
See also: 18.4.5. ATP Synthase and G Proteins Have Several Common Features (with my emphasis)

In Chapter 15, we learned that the signaling properties of other members of this family, the proteins, depend on their ability to bind nucleoside triphosphates and nucleoside diphosphates with great kinetic tenacity. They do not exchange nucleotides unless they are stimulated to do so by interaction with other proteins. The binding-change mechanism of ATP synthase is a variation on this theme. The three different faces of the γ subunit of ATP synthase interact with the P-loop regions of the β subunits to favor the structures of either the NDP- or NTP-binding forms or to facilitate nucleotide release. The conformational changes take place in an orderly way, driven by the rotation of the γ subunit.

See for comparison:Jay R. Feierman:

Variation is not nutrient availability and the something that is doing the selecting is not the individual organism. A feature of an educated person is to realize what they do not know. Sadly, you don’t know that you have an incorrect understanding [of] Darwinian biological evolution.

Electron cloud superimposed on the yin yang symbol

The "walking fish" walks straight from quantum physics to quantum souls (4)

Excerpt: During the past 21 months, others have either learned nothing about microRNAs or they have ignored the fact that virus-driven energy theft is not the same as energy dissipation in the context of food energy (the quantized energy as information that is used by viruses to create the amino acid substitutions that stabilize their RNA and DNA).

The dark side of the new popularity of cryo-electron microscopy

…we need to stand together as a field, and support our colleagues by accepting to review their papers and grant applications in order to ensure a fair evaluation. In my opinion, we need to collaborate, support and acknowledge each other as best as we can so we can successfully move forward together into a bright future in cryoEM.

This invited review of nutritional epigenetics was returned without review.  Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations: from atoms to ecosystems

Food energy-dependent changes in base pairs were linked to ecological adaptation in species from microbes to humans via methylation and the fixation of RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions. There is no dark side to cryo-electron microscopy (cryoEM), and Ariane Briegel knows that. See: Structure of bacterial cytoplasmic chemoreceptor arrays and implications for chemotactic signaling (2014)

  1. …methylations confer adaptation on the system, modulating its response based on recent environmental conditions (Kleene et al., 1979; Toews et al., 1979; Lupas and Stock, 1989). The architecture of these membrane-bound chemoreceptor arrays is not specific to E. coli, indeed it is universal among bacteria (Briegel et al., 2009). The architecture of these arrays is likely key to the high sensitivity, wide dynamic range, cooperativity, and feedback control of this system…
  2. Interestingly, while transmembrane arrays remain intact upon cell lysis, presumably due to the stabilizing effect of the membrane, cytoplasmic arrays fall apart unless molecular crowding agents are added. This suggests that cellular crowding contributes to the stability of the array and may be an important factor in assembly of these, and likely other, cellular structures (Ellis, 2001; Zhou et al., 2008; Zhou, 2013). We observe the same requirement for molecular crowding (mimicking the cellular environment) in our in vitro preparation from E. coli. This supports the idea that chemoreceptor interactions can be enhanced by membrane binding (Shrout et al., 2003), but in the absence of a membrane, this can be achieved by molecular crowding and sandwiching (Fowler et al., 2010).

Briegel et  al., (2014) reestablished the facts from our 1996 review of biophysically constrained RNA-mediated cell type differentiation. See the molecular epigenetics section of From Fertilization to Adult Sexual Behavior.
Life on Earth exists within the confines of the energy that is required to maintain the functional structure of the cell membrane. The crowding of food energy-dependent microRNAs in the cell membrane is reduced by virus-driven energy theft. See: Virus-mediated archaeal hecatomb in the deep seafloor

We show here for the first time the crucial role of viruses in controlling archaeal dynamics and therefore the functioning of deep-sea ecosystems, and suggest that virus-archaea interactions play a central role in global biogeochemical cycles.

Bacteria become archaea and archaea become L-forms (with no cell wall).
See: L-form bacteria cohabitants in human blood: significance for health and diseases
That significance of L-forms was not placed into the context of this representation of how serious scientists will prevent or begin to effectively treat all virus-driven pathology in the context of what has been revealed by the cryoEM technology.
See: Feedback of the Drosophila period gene product on circadian cycling of its messenger RNA levels
The circadian cycling of energy-dependent microRNA-mediated protein biosynthesis and degradation has been linked to healthy longevity via what is known about quantum physics and the link from quantized energy as information to quantum souls via hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs in solution that link microRNA flanking sequences in exosomes to RNA-mediated DNA repair.
See: Exosomes from human umbilical cord blood accelerate cutaneous wound healing through miR-21-3p-mediated promotion of angiogenesis and fibroblast function (Jan 1, 2018)

It has been shown that exosomes contain large amounts of miRNAs and can serve as vehicles to transfer miRNAs to recipient cells, where the exogenous miRNAs can alter the gene expression and bioactivity of recipient cells [28].

28. Au Yeung CL, Co NN, Tsuruga T, Yeung TL, Kwan SY, Leung CS. et al. Exosomal transfer of stroma-derived miR21 confers paclitaxel resistance in ovarian cancer cells through targeting APAF1. Nat Commun. 2016;7:11150

These data suggest that the malignant phenotype of metastatic ovarian cancer cells can be altered by miR21 delivered by exosomes derived from neighbouring stromal cells in the omental tumour microenvironment, and that inhibiting the transfer of stromal-derived miR21 is an alternative modality in the treatment of metastatic and recurrent ovarian cancer.

All experimental evidence of biophysically constrained viral latency links the food energy-dependent creation of microRNAs from the bioreactivity of recipient cells to healthy longevity via  protection from the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA, which all serious scientists have linked from mutations to all pathology.

Not only did Telepresence robots let employees ‘beam’ into work (December 24, 2012), telecommuting established my ability to disseminate accurate information about biophysically constrained biologically-based cause and effect to those who want to inform themselves. After I learned about microRNAs during the 2012 Society for Neuroscience annual meeting, I did not waste anymore time or money attending scientific conferences. It became perfectly clear that biologically uninformed theorists ignored the facts that link the creation of energy-dependent microRNAs to healthy longevity — if only because I had never heard of them.

During the past 21 months, others have either learned nothing about microRNAs or they have ignored the fact that virus-driven energy theft is not the same as energy dissipation in the context of food energy (the quantized energy as information that is used by viruses to create the amino acid substitutions that stabilize their RNA and DNA.

See for comparison: Quantum secret sharing for a multipartite system under energy dissipation!

Only the virus-driven theft of quantized energy has been linked to all pathology in all living genera.

That fact makes this fact perfectly clear. Scientific progress toward the prevention or effective treatment of all pathology has been delayed at every level of examination by theorists. See for example:

 Complex Mutations can Help Drive Evolution

“This study is the first of its kind in complex organisms like the fruit fly. With this unique resource in hand, we have already characterized several candidate structural variation which show evidence for phenotypic adaptation, which can function to drive species evolution,” explained Emerson.

Species do not evolve. Natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality links food energy from ecological variation to fixation of RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions in organized genomes via DNA repair. The RNA-mediated DNA repair is evidence of how organisms phenotypically adapt.
Food odors and pheromones biophysically constrain ecological adaptations in species from mice to humans. That fact was established via the works of people such as Eugene Daev, who used experimental evidence of biophysical constraints in their refutation of neo-Darwinian pseudoscientific nonsense.
See: [Pheromonal regulation of genetic processes: research on the house mouse (Mus musculus L.)] (1994)

A study of the influence of pheromone stressor(s) on proliferating germ and somatic cells was performed on laboratory lines of house mouse in the context of the physiological hypothesis of mutation process, proposed by M.E. Lobashev in 1947. Data from experiments are presented, and results obtained during last 10-15 years are discussed. The adaptive role of cytogenetic and other observed pheromonal effects is considered. The possible existence of interorganism systems of genetic regulation is discussed, the search for and study of which may help in more complete understanding of the regularities of functioning of genetic material.

See also: Size matters – the olfactory bulb as a marker for depression (2017)

We assume that reduced neural olfactory input to subsequent limbic and salience processing structures moderates this relation. However, the OB was in an inferior position compared to conventional questionnaires for diagnosis of depression.

Despite two decades of scientific progress, the authors assume that the link between olfaction and emotion processing structures may not be as strong in humans compared to mice. They are either biologically uninformed, or they are lying. In either case, serious scientists do not base their claims on ridiculous assumptions. There may be no serious scientists who have ever worked with Thomas Hummel.

Attacks on my scientific credibility by Nik Wilmore, who claims these credentials Chemist (Columbia/Harvard), can be linked to this Historical Perspective as the obvious basis for social media attacks by biologically uninformed chemists and other theorists:
A fear of pheromones (1971)

WHAT are we going to do if it turns out that we have pheromones? What on earth would we be doing with such things? With the richness of speech, and all our new devices for communication, why would we want to release odors into the air to convey information about anything? We can send notes, telephone, whisper cryptic invitations, announce the giving of parties, even bounce words off the moon and make them carom around the planets. Why a gas, or droplets of moisture made to be deposited on fenceposts?

Similarly, what are we going to do if it turns out that food odors are the link from quantum physics to quantum souls, and that only pheromones biophysically constrain the virus-driven entropy of organized genomes?

Of 1.15 million single-nucleotide variants found among more than 15,000 protein-encoding genes, 73% in arose the past 5,000 years, the researchers report. 164,688 of the variants — roughly 14% — were potentially harmful, and of those, 86% arose in the past 5,000 years.

Only if you ignore everything that could be learned about cell biology by playing the game “Cytosis,” could you continue to believe in the ridiculous theories of “Big Bang” cosmologists and neo-Darwinian theorists.

Cytosis: “A board game taking place inside a human cell! Players compete to build enzymes, hormones and receptors and fend off attacking Viruses!”

Darwin’s “conditions of life” and Kohl’s Laws of Biology attest to the fact that food energy-dependent RNA-mediated DNA repair biophysically constrains viral latency. Changes in the diet lead to ecological variation or from virus-driven energy theft to mutation-driven pathology.
The only recommended use for the term evolution is in the context of the evolution of virus-driven pathology.
See: Virus-mediated archaeal hecatomb in the deep seafloor

We show here for the first time the crucial role of viruses in controlling archaeal dynamics and therefore the functioning of deep-sea ecosystems, and suggest that virus-archaea interactions play a central role in global biogeochemical cycles.

See for comparison: Role of enhanced receptor engagement in the evolution of a pandemic acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis virus

We provide a high-resolution cryo-EM structure of a virus-ICAM-1 complex, which revealed critical ICAM-1-binding residues. These data could help identify a possible conserved mode of receptor engagement among ICAM-1-binding enteroviruses and rhinoviruses. Moreover, we identify a single capsid substitution that has been adopted by all pandemic CV-A24v strains and we reveal that this adaptation enhances the capacity of CV-A24v to bind sialic acid. Our data elucidate the CV-A24v receptor repertoire and point to a role of enhanced receptor engagement in the adaptation to the eye, possibly enabling pandemic spread.

The theft of quantized energy as information is linked to the adaptation of the virus. The creation of sunlight an its contract with water typically links the anti-entropic virucidal effects of the sun’s energy from food energy and the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction to fixation of amino acid substitutions in the organized genomes of all living genera. If Baggen et al., (2017) Role of enhanced receptor engagement in the evolution of a pandemic acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis virus was an accurate representation of how viral latency is biophysically constrained, the experimental evidence could help others to maintain their mental health.
See: Avoiding spiritual struggles and existential questions is linked with poorer mental health

Among the study’s findings:

  • An unwillingness to accept spiritual struggle could contribute to major social ills, leading to lost opportunities to engage with people of different faith beliefs and backgrounds and come to view them as threatening.

“This avoidance may lead to the rejection of whole groups of people based on their religious differences or perceived incongruence between, for example, their sexuality or gender-based identity and religious teachings,” Exline said.

  • Mental health providers may find it useful to help clients with spiritual struggles face their difficulties in a more proactive way.

“People seem to be more emotionally healthy if they’re able to accept troubling thoughts,” Exline said. “Looking at spiritual doubts in an objective way seems to help. You may or may not work through them, but at least you can tolerate having them.”

  • Avoidance itself is not a problem; rather, the behavior can become problematic when escaping becomes harmful or contrary to personal goals and sets a rigid pattern of experiencing and responding to the world.

“Regular spiritual avoidance can make it difficult to identify, work toward or experience the qualities that lend a sense of purpose to life,” she said.

  • Using emotional and cognitive energy to push thoughts away will not stop them from continuing to intrude over time.

“Continually being re-visited by these thoughts can create strains on emotional health, especially if a person sees this kind of questioning as morally unacceptable and dangerous,” Exline said.

The more we are tied to something, the stronger our reaction to it. I believe this is the problem with modern politics. We, both sides, have become so tied to our ideals that we cannot have a rational discussion about anything that goes against them.

The politicized practice of medicine prevents recognition of the facts established by serious scientists. For example, the innate antiphage defense system protects all organized genomes from virus-driven entropy via autophagy. That fact was placed into the context of the cell biology game Cytosis.
See also the discussion of Mitochondrial metabolite linked to regulation of neurotransmission

Pat Sweeney I am beginning to think that the genes in the mitochondria that direct the assembly of some of the necessary factors for nerve firing, are in cell types that have not had enough time to evolve or move the genes to the nucleus yet. Other cell types have had enough time to evolve or duplicate the mitochondrial genes into the cell genome and mutate them out of the mitochondrial genome.
Mitochondrial Genes Move to the Nucleus — but it’s not for the sex. The loss of endosymbiont genes can be complete, in which lost genes are absent from the host–endosymbiont complex, a substitution, in which a nuclear allele functions in place of the lost symbiont gene, or a functional transfer of an endosymbiont gene to the nucleus, followed by its loss (Adams and Palmer 2003). Such “functional transfer” involves the relocation of a mitochondrial gene to the nucleus, its acquisition of a promoter, successful targeting to the mitochondria for proper function, and the eventual loss of the gene from the mitochondrial genome altogether. Although this process is probably quite complex and requires numerous evolutionary modifications (Murcha et al. 2005), there is evidence that some mitochondrial genes are preadapted to functional transfer as they contain signals that target them to the mitochondria before functional transfer to the nucleus (Ueda et al. 2008a).
He cited: The Functional Transfer of Genes From the Mitochondria to the Nucleus: The Effects of Selection, Mutation, Population Size and Rate of Self-Fertilization (2009)
and Massive Mitochondrial Gene Transfer in a Parasitic Flowering Plant Clade (2013)

My response:

I am beginning to think that some people still do not realize that cell types do not evolve. But now, Pat Sweeney makes claims that differentiate the terms “evolve or duplicate” from phrases such as “mutate them out of the mitochondrial genome” and “evidence that some mitochondrial genes are preadapted.”

The preadaptations are quantized energy-dependent and biophysically constrained by the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction. There is a model for that.

Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations: from atoms to ecosystems

There is still no mathematical model of biologically-based cause and effect for comparison, which is why all serious scientists are laughing at the pseudoscientists who still tout “evolution” as an explanation for cell type differentiation in different species that must eat to reproduce.

Light-activated error free DNA repair

Summary: The same set of microRNAs controls expression of the genes for rate-limiting enzymes, which control differences in the hormone production of different hormones in insects and crustaceans. That fact led to this claim in: The secret to safe DNA repair.

…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.

The Secret to Long Life? It May Lurk in the DNA of the Oldest Among Us

If unusual patterns in their three billion pairs of A’s, C’s, G’s and T’s — the nucleobases that make up all genomes — can be shown to have prolonged their lives and protected their health, the logic goes, it is conceivable that a drug or gene therapy could be devised to replicate the effects in the rest of us.

The unusual patterns exist only in the context of error-free RNA-directed DNA repair. DNA repair is linked from the energy-dependent creation of one enzyme and the metabolism of food to species-specific pheromones.

The pheromones control the physiology of reproduction. In the mouse model, pheromones have repeatedly been linked to epigenetic effects on gene regulation.
See: [Pheromonal regulation of genetic processes: research on the house mouse (Mus musculus L.)] 1994

A study of the influence of pheromone stressor(s) on proliferating germ and somatic cells was performed on laboratory lines of house mouse in the context of the physiological hypothesis of mutation process, proposed by M.E. Lobashev in 1947. Data from experiments are presented, and results obtained during last 10-15 years are discussed. The adaptive role of cytogenetic and other observed pheromonal effects is considered. The possible existence of interorganism systems of genetic regulation is discussed, the search for and study of which may help in more complete understanding of the regularities of functioning of genetic material.
 

The virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA has since been linked to all pathology. Food odors and pheromones biophysically constrain the transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of viral latency via the creation of amino acid substitutions that differentiate all the cell types of all individuals of all individuals of all species.
When all serious scientists fully disclose what is known about the biophysically constrained energy-dependent links from 1) base editing and 2) microRNA editing to 3) RNA editing and RNA-mediated DNA repair, pseudoscientists will be put out of the business of drug development. Medical practice will be based on what is known about Precision Medicine, which specifically links the food energy-dependent creation of enzymes to healthy longevity and to the metabolism of the drugs that often do more harm than good.

Base Editing Now Able to Convert Adenine-Thymine to Guanine-Cytosine

“Nature conveniently provides us with cytosine deaminase enzymes that operate on DNA,” Liu tells The Scientist.

The creation of quantized energy in sunlight links energy as information from electrons to ecosystems via the physiology of reproduction in all living genera. The claim that “Nature” provides us with cytosine deaminase enzymes makes it seem that the enzymes emerged and automagically evolved to become purposeful and meaningful in the context of ridiculous theories about mutation-driven evolution.
2)
Conserved microRNA editing in mammalian evolution, development and disease
MicroRNA (miRNA) editing is a site-specific conserved mechanism that links ecological variation to energy-dependent ecological adaptations via the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction, which increases the functional diversity of mammalian miRNA transcriptomes. These authors place microRNA editing into the context of an “evolutionarily stable feature” without explaining how the energy-dependent stability was linked to biophysically constrained viral latency.
3)
RNA Editing Possible with CRISPR-Cas13
Serious scientists moved forward by calling pre-mRNAs “microRNAs.” They linked energy-dependent alternative splicings to all biodiversity via fixation of amino acid substitutions in the context of the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction. Now, Zhang and others make the claim that’s akin to saying they rediscovered the innate immune system, which biophysically constrains viral latency.
The so-called secret to the three-step recognition of the pattern linked to longevity may be as simple as this: Learn how anything you eat or drink may be beneficial and do not take drugs that will kill you by stealing the quantized energy as information that McEwen et al. (1964) linked the light-activated creation of ATP to the food energy-dependent creation of RNA.
Dependence of RNA synthesis in isolated thymus nuclei on glycolysis, oxidative carbohydrate catabolism and a type of “oxidative phosphorylation”

Isolated thymus nuclei transport amino acids into an intranuclear pool by a process which seems to depend on energy from nuclear ATP synthesis (20).

Ingram and others found that hemoglobin S differs from A in the substitution of just a single amino acid, valine in place of glutamic acid in the beta chain of the hemoglobin molecule.

See also: Dobzhansky (1973) Nothing in Biology Makes Any Sense Except in the Light of Evolution

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.

All serious scientists know that the creation of the sun’s anti-entropic virucidal energy must be linked from ecological variation to ecological adaptations, whether or not they refer to light in the context of evolution. Nothing makes sense when theorists fail to link the speed of light on contact with water from the creation of enzymes to the metabolism of food. And nothing else about food energy makes sense when pseudoscientists fail to link it to the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction, which biophysically constrains viral latency.

Reported as:‘Junk DNA’ Used To Sort Species and also as: All in the (bigger) family with my comment:

The 2015 Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) presenters may not recognize how much progress has been made since the 2013 ecological epigenetics symposium. For example, since then authors claimed “…ctenophore neural systems, and possibly muscle specification, evolved independently from those in other animals.” http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature13400
Six months later, other authors traced signaling factors found in vertebrates to the origin of nerve cell centralization via the diffuse nerve net of animals like the sea anemone. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms6536 That fact suggests ecological variation is linked to ecological adaptations in morphological and behavioral phenotypes via signaling protein concentrations that differentiate various cell types in body axes and the central nervous system.
Links across species from the epigenetic landscape to the physical landscape of DNA in organized genomes appear to have their origins in the conserved molecular mechanisms of RNA-directed DNA methylation and RNA-mediated protein folding. Two weeks after the publication that refuted ideas about independently evolved neural systems or muscle specification — and perhaps refuted the independent evolution of anything else, SICB presenters linked crustaceans to insects.
Apparently, they’ve learned that the same set of microRNAs controls expression of the genes for rate-limiting enzymes that control the hormone production of different hormones in insects and crustaceans.
Why were they left with any questions about how crustaceans and insects could all be part of one big family? They linked RNA-mediated cell type differentiation to what we described in our section on molecular epigenetics in our 1996 Hormones and Behavior review.

Energy-dependent physical and biophysical constraints (6)

Conclusion: Like Richard Dawkins, Magnus S. Magnusson is a pseudoscientist.

A light-induced change in an endogenous substrate found in all cell types of all living genera links femtosecond blasts of UV light from the de novo creation of the innate immune system to RNA-mediated DNA repair in species from microbes to humans. The theft of quantized energy by viruses has been linked to all pathology.

The speed at which quantum decoherence occurs makes it difficult for virus-driven energy theft to be carried from one generation to the next via chromosomal inheritance, which is the only way that nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled transgenerational epigenetic inheritance occurs — if it does not occur automagically in the small minds of theorists.

See first: Energy-dependent physical and biophysical constraints (5)
See next: Design of a synthetic yeast genome
They use what occurs in the context of natural selection for quantized energy-dependent changes in base pairs and link RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions from changes in enzymes and feedback loops. The feedback loops link the pheromone-controlled de novo creation of more receptors via the physiology of reproduction, which biophysically constrains viral latency in all organized genomes.
Their work was reported today, July 26, 2017 in the context of Scientists build DNA from scratch to alter life’s blueprint with my emphasis

Boeke, a researcher at New York University, directs an international team of 11 labs on four continents working to “rewrite” the yeast genome, following a detailed plan they published in March.

The research may reveal basic, hidden rules that govern the structure and functioning of genomes.

All serious scientists known that the structure and function of all organized genomes is energy-dependent and RNA-mediated. For example, in all animals the functional structure of supercoiled DNA is controlled by food odors and pheromones in the context of the physiology of energy-dependent reproduction that links food energy-dependent changes in the microRNA/messenger RNA balance to healthy longevity. Alternatively, virus-driven energy theft links the degradation of messenger RNA from mutations to all pathology.

See: Viral MicroRNAs, Host MicroRNAs Regulating Viruses, and Bacterial MicroRNA-Like RNAs

The question arises: Does Boeke or anyone like him know that the organized genome of yeast is rewritten only in the context of the food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled biophysical constraints on viral latency? I ask because he may be hiding something. Anyone who does not know how chirality and autophagy biophysically constrain viral latency is not likely to have written a book chapter like this, which was co-authored by J.D. Boeke in 1988.

See: Yeast Ty Elements as Retroviruses in  Viruses of Fungi and Simple Eukaryotes

The title of J.D. Boeke’s latest effort: Design of a synthetic yeast genome, would make any young earth creationist proud of his Boeke’s accomplishment. It attests to facts about “design” that atheistic hate mongers like Richard Dawkins and other pseudoscientists have linked from mutations and natural selection to evolution.

See: Mutation-Driven Evolution

See also for example: Magnus S. Magnusson’s comments on Richard Dawkins event cancelled over his ‘abusive speech against Islam’ Magunsson started removing my responses a few hours ago.

I attempted to discuss the fact that Boeke and others use base substitutions within ORFs to introduce or remove enzyme recognition sites. That is how they facilitate the energy-dependent assembly of synthetic chromosomes.

But there’s more! Boeke’s history of publications links nearly 30 years of pseudoscientific nonsense to an impressive refutation of neo-Darwinian theory. The design of the synthetic yeast genome via the energy-dependent assembly of synthetic chromosomes attests to the fact that natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality is the link to the design of all biophysically constrained biodiversity.

See for instance: Codon identity regulates mRNA stability and translation efficiency during the maternal-to-zygotic transition

Some people might think that pseudoscientists can recover from refutation linked to the stability of messenger RNA (mRNA), but the recovery time ended two decades ago with publication of From Fertilization to Adult Sexual Behavior

See our section on molecular epigenetics.

Yet another kind of epigenetic imprinting occurs in species as diverse as yeast, Drosophila, mice, and humans and is based upon small DNA-binding proteins called “chromo domain” proteins, e.g., polycomb. These proteins affect chromatin structure, often in telomeric regions, and thereby affect transcription and silencing of various genes…

The proteins do not automagically create themselves. Energy-dependent changes in chirality must be linked from autophagy to biophysically constrained viral latency. In that context, this report is another clear refutation of mutation-driven evolution.

See: Lipophilic siRNA targets albumin in situ and promotes bioavailability, tumor penetration, and carrier-free gene silencing

These data reveal the immense promise of in situ albumin targeting for development of translational, carrier-free RNAi-based cancer therapies.

The increased amount of information on naturally occurring energy-dependent RNA interference (RNAi) linked to cancer treatment was reported as: Molecular hitchhiker on human protein signals tumors to self-destruct

“What fascinates and excites me most about this approach, in addition to improved tumor penetration, is lack of toxicity at a relatively high dose,” she said. “We could potentially use our siRNA delivery system to target several genes simultaneously or sequentially. Most cancers are driven by multiple abnormal genes, so targeting one often leads to activation of others as the tumor adapts.”

Tumors do not adapt. Viruses quickly adapt via energy theft and the substitutions of amino acids in their genomes. The amino acid substitutions in the tumors cause the tumors to adapt to the lack of energy-dependent microRNAs carried by albumin. That is how virus-driven energy theft is linked to the proliferation of undifferentiated cell types in all tissues of all organisms.

See: The phylogenetic utility and functional constraint of microRNA flanking sequences

As detailed here, the clear identity and easy alignment of these sequences makes them good candidates for estimating phylogeny, and they can reliably be found and identified across all members of a clade of interest. Their relatively slow evolution [3] also means that they can easily be identified in de novo assemblies of genomes.

The energy-dependent microRNA flanking sequences do not evolve and genes do not assemble themselves.  Quantized energy as information biophysically constrains virus-driven energy theft, which would otherwise link mutations to all pathology.

Young earth creationists recently placed the virus-driven theft of quantized energy into the context of Cancer Research Confirms the Curse.

…the cancer-suppressing molecule NAD+ diminishes with age appeared in the same Science issue.3Harvard Medical School News summarized the findings. As NAD+ lessens, “DNA breaks go unrepaired and, as these breaks accumulate over time, precipitate cell damage, cell mutations, cell death and loss of organ function.”4 It seems the only way to cure cancer would be to somehow reach into and constantly correct every cell’s mutations.

Carrier-free gene silencing links femtosecond blasts of UV light from the anti-entropic virucidal effects of sunlight on contact with water to everything serious scientists know about food energy-dependent top-down causation and changes in the microRNA/messenger RNA balance, which have been linked to all biophysically constrained biodiversity via what organisms eat and the physiology of their pheromone-controlled reproduction.

See: UV-Induced Charge Transfer States in DNA Promote Sequence Selective Self-Repair

The sequences have been selected according special charge distributions and lifetimes of excimer states previously characterized by femtosecond infrared spectroscopy.(3a, 3c, 3d) With these selected sequences we demonstrate that repair occurs when the intrastrand charge transfer leads to a suitably charged nucleotide adjacent to the lesion.

A femtosecond is the SI unit of time equal to 10−15 or 1/1,000,000,000,000,000 of a second; that is, one quadrillionth, or one millionth of one billionth, of a second.[1] For context, a femtosecond is to a second as a second is to about 31.71 million years; a ray of light travels approximately 0.3 µm (micrometers) in 1 femtosecond, a distance comparable to the diameter of a virus.[2]

For comparison: One picosecond is equal to 1000 femtoseconds (fs). Theoretical physicists who thought they knew something about the nature of quantum coherence based their theories on measurements of timescales up to 1.5 picoseconds (ps), but they have since learned that decoherence occurs within 60 fs. The transfer of energy in the context of photosynthesis clearly links the anti-entropic virucidal energy of UV light to RNA-mediated DNA repair in much less time than theorists realized.

See: Nature does not rely on long-lived electronic quantum coherence for photosynthetic energy transfer

Given the relatively well-defined structure of the FMO protein, and comparative couplings between chlorophylls to other photosynthetic systems, the observed extremely fast decoherence should be viewed as general, bringing to question any significant quantum coherent transport contributions to photosynthesis.

See also: OLYMPUS experiment sheds light on structure of protons

…unlike the theoretical predictions, analysis of the OLYMPUS measurements suggests that, most of the time, only one of the photons has high energy, while the other must carry very little energy indeed…

The differences in the energy of photons and the amount of time it takes for energy-dependent RNA-mediated DNA repair link displays of ignorance by Magnus S. Magnusson and other atheistic hate-mongers that can be compared to any display by anyone who has ever been involved in linking pattern recognition to biophysically constrained life on Earth.

For comparison, that is what young earth creationists have done with the information about energy as information from Biblical Genesis.

See also: One billion suns: World’s brightest laser sparks new behavior in light

The light’s coming off at different angles, with different colors, depending on how bright it is.

That phenomenon stemmed partly from a change in the electron, which abandoned its usual up-and-down motion in favor of a figure-8 flight pattern. As it would under normal conditions, the electron also ejected its own photon, which was jarred loose by the energy of the incoming photons. But the researchers found that the ejected photon absorbed the collective energy of all the scattered photons, granting it the energy and wavelength of an X-ray.

See: The Reality of Color Is Perception

Color is one of the longstanding puzzles in philosophy, raising doubts about the truthfulness of our sensory grasp on things, and provoking concerns as to the metaphysical compatibility of scientific, perceptual, and common sense representations of the world. Most philosophers have argued that colors are either real or not real, physical or psychological. The greater challenge is to theorize the subtle way that color stands between our understanding of the physical and the psychological.

See for comparison: Olfaction Warps Visual Time Perception

The fact that olfaction warps visual time perception links the speed of light on contact with water from the visual appeal of a rainbow to the integration of all sensory input and our appreciation of how energy and mass are linked across the time-space continuum via what is known about the sense of smell in bacteria and the food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction in all living genera.

For comparison, Magnus S. Magnusson co-authored “Complex spike patterns in olfactory bulb neuronal networks”  He and his colleagues failed to link fast decoherence from the anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight to all biodiversity via the physiology of reproduction and RNA-mediated DNA repair.

In the world of those who have consistently linked olfaction to our visual perception of energy and mass in the context of the space-time continuum, Magnusson can be referred to as a biologically uninformed science idiot — if only because he has no expertise in any scientific discipline.

Conclusion: Like Richard Dawkins, Magnus S. Magnusson is a pseudoscientist.

A light-induced change in an endogenous substrate found in all cell types of all living genera links femtosecond blasts of UV light from the de novo creation of the innate immune system to RNA-mediated DNA repair in species from microbes to humans. The theft of quantized energy by viruses has been linked to all pathology via the difference between “Nature” and God’s perfect “Creation.”

The speed at which quantum decoherence occurs makes it difficult for virus-driven energy theft to be carried from one generation to the next via chromosomal inheritance, which is the only way that nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled transgenerational epigenetic inheritance occurs — if it does not occur automagically in the small minds of theorists.

Although that fact has been repeatedly revealed in the extant scientific literature, which includes texts like the Holy Bible, atheistic hate-mongers refuse to read anything that challenges their beliefs at the same time they either claim to believe in nothing or attack the beliefs of intelligent scientists.

See for examples of what pseudoscientists are likely to believe.

Food energy-dependent epigenetic adaptation

Mechanism of transmembrane signaling by sensor histidine kinases, was reported as Scientists investigate how the sense of smell works in bacteria

…the signaling and inactive states differ only very slightly at the nitrate-binding site – by 0.5-1 angstroms, which is approximately one fifth of the size of the ion itself (1 angstrom is 10-10 meters). However, when this ion binds to the sensor, it causes huge changes in the protein: The helices of different monomers begin to move in different directions, like pistons. These “pistons” transmit the small change of 0.5-1 angstroms through the membrane, and their outer ends shift by approximately 2.5 angstroms in different directions. Inside the cell, in the HAMP domain, these shifts are converted into the rotation of two parts of NarQ relative to each other. Ultimately, the positions of the output helices change by as much as 7 angstroms, thus completing the signal transmission.

The researchers from Russia link energy-dependent changes in angstroms to ecosystems in all living genera. See this parody for fun.
Listen for her to repeat the claim that “,,,every angstrom is dynamic from the 5 prime to the three…”

See also: Nutrient-dependent/pheromone-controlled adaptive evolution: a model (2013) and see this invited review of nutritional epigenetics from 2014: Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations: from atoms to ecosystems
All adaptive evolution is epigenetically-effected ecological adaptation. In my model, adaptive evolution equates with epigenetic adaptation for claims that can be compared to claims about mutations and evolution. In 2013, I placed my claims into the context of adaptive evolution because many people did not realize that organized genomes must be protected from virus-driven energy theft at the level of energy-dependent changes in the microRNA/messenger RNA balance.
Other researchers have since begun to realize that virus-driven energy theft causes the degradation of messenger RNA. Every level of examination links the loss of quantized energy from angstroms to ecosystems via mutations, which are linked to all pathology. If my invited review had not been returned without review, other researchers probably would have linked the peer-reviewed publication from 2013 and virus-driven energy theft from the hecatombic evolution of pathology in archaea to all pathology via the degradation of messenger RNA and negative supercoiling of DNA.

See for example: Structural Dynamics and Mechanochemical Coupling in DNA Gyrase

Gyrase is a molecular motor that harnesses the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to perform mechanical work on DNA. The enzyme specifically introduces negative supercoiling in a process that must coordinate fuel consumption with DNA cleavage and religation and with numerous conformational changes in both the protein and DNA components of a large nucleoprotein complex. Here we present a current understanding of mechanochemical coupling in this essential molecular machine, with a focus on recent diverse biophysical approaches that have revealed details of molecular architectures, new conformational intermediates, structural transitions modulated by ATP binding, and the influence of mechanics on motor function. Recent single-molecule assays have also illuminated the reciprocal relationships between supercoiling and transcription, an illustration of mechanical interactions between gyrase and other molecular machines at the heart of chromosomal biology.

It has also become clear that no experimental evidence links the degradation of messenger RNA from mutations to evolution via natural selection or any other claims that have been made by biologically uninformed theorists. No experimental evidence that supports evolution via natural selection has been published in a peer-reviewed journal.
Natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality is the experimental evidence-based link to healthy longevity and all biodiversity. Theorists might complain that their absence of experimental evidence is not evidence of absence. But that is how theorists try to keep serious scientists waiting for pseudoscientists to make a contribution to what is known about energy-dependent biologically-based cause and effect. Theorists are pseudoscientists who cannot do that.
For instance, and for an example, in the conclusion of Mutation-Driven Evolution, which was published on the same day as my 2013 review, Masatoshi Nei suggested that other theorists and everyone else should simply ignore the need to consider teleological elements.
Teleology is the philosophical attempt to describe things in terms of their apparent purpose, directive principle, or goal. For instance, in 2012, Thomas Nagel proposed a neo-Darwinian account of evolution that incorporates impersonal, natural teleological laws to explain the existence of life, consciousness, rationality, and objective value.
So far as I know, Nei is still biologically uninformed and Nagel is still looking for his Darwin. See: Awaiting a New Darwin
For comparison, here is an example of what happens when other researchers from Russia included a link from the teleological elements to the purpose of life. Keep in mind that every aspect of neo-Darwinian theory must eventually incorporate “Laws of Biology” that link energy from quantum physics to ecological adaptation via quantum physics and the chemistry of biophysically constrained pheromone-controlled reproduction. For example, in my model of how to link angstroms to ecosystems, Kohl’s “Laws of Biology” are Darwin’s “conditions of life.”
The term “epigenetic adaptation” suggests that others have accepted all the facts about RNA-mediated cell type differentiation. The facts link nutrient energy-dependent changes from angstroms to ecosystems via food energy and the physiology of reproduction, which is controlled by pheromones in species from microbes to humans.

Here’s an example of how the “Laws of Biology’ are linked to energy-dependent ecological adaptation: Genome-wide DNA methylation profiling reveals epigenetic adaptation of stickleback to marine and freshwater conditions

The three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) represents a convenient model to study microevolution – adaptation to a freshwater environment. While genetic adaptations to freshwater environments are well-studied, epigenetic adaptations have attracted little attention. In this work, we investigated the role of DNA methylation in the adaptation of the marine stickleback population to freshwater conditions. DNA methylation profiling was performed in marine and freshwater populations of sticklebacks, as well as in marine sticklebacks placed into a freshwater environment and freshwater sticklebacks placed into seawater. We showed that the DNA methylation profile after placing a marine stickleback into fresh water partially converged to that of a freshwater stickleback. For six genes including ATP4A ion pump and NELL1, believed to be involved in skeletal ossification, we demonstrated similar changes in DNA methylation in both evolutionary and short-term adaptation. This suggested that an immediate epigenetic response to freshwater conditions can be maintained in freshwater population. Interestingly, we observed enhanced epigenetic plasticity in freshwater sticklebacks that may serve as a compensatory regulatory mechanism for the lack of genetic variation in the freshwater population. For the first time, we demonstrated that genes encoding ion channels KCND3, CACNA1FB, ATP4A were deferentially methylated between the marine and the freshwater populations. Other genes encoding ion channels were previously reported to be under selection in freshwater populations. Nevertheless, the genes that harbor genetic and epigenetic changes were not the same, suggesting that epigenetic adaptation is a complementary mechanism to selection of genetic variants favorable for freshwater environment.

Although they try to separate microevolution and macroevolution, the authors refute every aspect of neo-Darwinian pseudoscientific nonsense. They inadvertently link the quantized energy of sunlight to the creation of ATP, which links food energy-dependent biophysically constrained RNA-directed DNA methylation biosynthesis  from RNA to cell type differentiation in all living genera via my series of blog posts here. See: Search Results for “rna directed DNA methylation”
Anna Di Cosmo’s group linked all invertebrates to all vertebrates via my model in Role of olfaction in Octopus vulgaris reproduction
From the concluding paragraph:
Future work on O. vulgaris olfaction must also consider how animals acquire the odours detected by the olfactory organ and what kind of odour the olfactory organ perceives. The OL acting as control centre may be target organ for metabolic hormones such as leptin like and insulin like peptides, and olfactory organ could exert regulatory action on the OL via epigenetic effects of nutrients and pheromones on gene expression (Kohl, 2013; Elekonich and Robinson, 2000).
RNA-directed DNA methylation links the nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled weekend resurrection of the bacterial flagellum in P. fluorescens to all biodiversity on Earth via conserved molecular mechanisms of controlled cell type differentiation in all living genera. From a teleological perspective, supercoiled DNA protects all organized genomes from the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA, which links virus-driven energy theft to all pathology in all living genera. See: Structural diversity of supercoiled DNA
See also: Engineering RGB color vision into Escherichia coli, which was reported as Bacterial Photography Goes Technicolor http://mobile.the-scientist.com/article/49481/bacterial-photography-goes-technicolor
The requirement for a light-activated endogenous substrate in all cell types has been known to serious scientists who have linked chromosomal inheritance to all biodiversity during the past century. The de novo creation of the endogenous substrate links the de novo creation of G protein-coupled receptors to all energy-dependent cell type differentiation via chemotaxis and phototaxis, which link the ability of microbes to find food to the creation of supercoiled DNA. The supercoiled DNA protects all living genera from the virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA, which is linked from mutations to all pathology.
Indeed, the success of optogenetics is based on the fact that femtosecond blasts of UV light were been linked to RNA-mediated DNA repair. The light activated DNA repair has been linked to the weekend resurrection of the bacterial flagellum in P. fluorescens. That fact refutes all claims about mutation-driven evolution.
Facts that refute mutation-driven evolution are a nightmare for theorists who failed to link sunlight to the life-sustaining energy that Richard Feynman and others placed into the context of food energy. Feynman used that fact as an example of how to “get” physicists who present themselves as know-it-alls. See the video clip, below.

…synthetic messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which are delivered to the cell and translated in vivo, offer potential for expressing proteins. The nucleotides in these mRNA molecules must be modified to avoid immune detection through pattern recognition receptors…

The fact that synthetic amino acids have been used to create vaccines that may prevent all pathology, links current technology and teleology to pattern recognition across all species that must find food to reproduce.

“We can now get the light of life to stay on,” said Romesberg. “That suggests that all of life’s processes can be subject to manipulation.”

If all of life’s processes were not energy-dependent, the processes could not be manipulated by light in the context of Dobzhansky’s claims in Nothing in Biology Makes Any Sense Except in the Light of Evolution.

…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).”

Similarly, if all of life’s processes were not nutrient energy-dependent and pheromone-controlled, this research could not link pheromones to the control of antibiotic resistance, which is caused by virus-driven energy theft.
See:

Drugs which affect bacteria’s “sense of smell” could potentially be used as substitutes for modern antibiotics. They do not kill bacteria; they simply give them signals that render them harmless to the human body. In theory, in this case it would be impossible for resistance to be developed.

Unfortunately for you and all your dying or deceased loved ones, mathematical model of evolution failed to link nutrient energy-dependent pheromone-controlled ecological adaptations in all genera to healthy longevity. Fortunately, the creation of vaccines via substitutions with artificial amino acids attests to the fact that all of life’s processes are energy-dependent. That may be sufficient proof that RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions protect supercoiled DNA from virus-driven energy theft and the degradation of messenger RNA, which links mutations to all pathology. If not, there will be more proof each day.

Earlier today, this appeared on my alert. The evolutionary origin of plant and animal microRNAs
The idea that microRNAs automagically evolved appears to be linked to the foolishness of theories that tried to link mutations from natural selection to evolution.  For comparison, see: Genome-wide discovery of viral microRNAs based on phylogenetic analysis and structural evolution of various human papillomavirus subtypes

It is likely that viral miRNAs help viruses enter the latent phase of their life cycle and become undetected by the host’s immune system, while increasing the host’s risk for cancer development.

See: Obama Advisers Urge Action Against CRISPR Bioterror Threat 

Scientific advisers to President Obama warn that the U.S. urgently needs a new biodefense strategy and should regularly brief President-elect Donald Trump on the dangers posed by new technologies like CRISPR, gene therapy, and synthetic DNA, which they say could be coöpted by terrorists.

The CRISPR Bioterror Threat links all current technology to refutations of every aspect of neo-Darwinian pseudoscientific nonsense and the pseudoscientific nonsense touted by “Big Bang” cosmologists. That fact has forced those who once led the scientific advances in technology to place them into a teleological perspective.
For example, I suspect that is what George Church and others are trying to do.
See: Human Genome Project 2: Synth meeting takes place in Boston16 May 16

See also: A scientist named George Church has a wild idea to upend evolution — here’s what you should know about him

Harvard biologist George Church burst into the headlines (yet again) last week when he helped organize a closed-door meeting of scores of top scientists to discuss accelerating efforts to create synthetic DNA — including a complete human genome.

Begley reports that a meeting held last year was held last week. I think I can explain why placing her report into the context of George Church’s business practices is good business for people like her. For example, George Church already refuted every aspect of neo-Darwinian pseudoscientific nonsense when he and others filed the patent for ‘RNA-guided human genome engineering,’ which is an energy-dependent naturally occurring RNA-mediated process. It links natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality to supercoiled DNA and every aspect of biodiversity.
That fact forces many of the world’s top experts to acknowledge that Darwin’s ‘conditions of life’ are nutrient energy-dependent and pheromone-controlled. That fact links quantum physics to quantum consciousness via claims made by Richard Feynman. For example, he claimed that theoretical physicists exemplify idiocy by using too many different terms for the measurement of “energy.”

The “…proof that physicists are human…” he claims, “… is the idiocy of all the different units which they use in measuring energy.”

The apparent corruption among evolutionists may simply be another example of what Richard Feynman placed into the context of idiocy. In any case, we will continue to see attempts to make it appear that neo-Darwinian theorists have not displayed that same level of idiocy.
They have failed to link ecological variation to energy-dependent ecological adaptation via the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction in all living genera. The report by Begley could be “spin-doctoring” at its finest, or it could simply be her mistake.
In either case, those who have been caught touting alternative facts about evolution must now try to make it appear that they have not done that during the past year. During the past year many academics and liberals have been fighting against the claims of corruption made by the Trump administration when the corruption obviously extends to academia.
The fact that reports from researchers in Russia and researchers in China consistently have linked what is known about energy-dependent changes in the microRNA/messenger RNA balance from ecological variation to ecological adaptation or to pathology is not well known to all researchers in the United States. That problem led to accusations that the Russians had hacked the election of our President.
Those accusations can now be placed into the context of Combating Evolution to Fight Disease and support for the State of Israel.

My comment: 

The 2015 Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) presenters may not recognize how much progress has been made since the 2013 ecological epigenetics symposium. For example, since then authors claimed “…ctenophore neural systems, and possibly muscle specification, evolved independently from those in other animals.” http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/nature13400

Six months later, other authors traced signaling factors found in vertebrates to the origin of nerve cell centralization via the diffuse nerve net of animals like the sea anemone. http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/ncomms6536 That fact suggests ecological variation is linked to ecological adaptations in morphological and behavioral phenotypes via signaling protein concentrations that differentiate various cell types in body axes and the central nervous system.

Links across species from the epigenetic landscape to the physical landscape of DNA in organized genomes appear to have their origins in the conserved molecular mechanisms of RNA-directed DNA methylation and RNA-mediated protein folding. Two weeks after the publication that refuted ideas about independently evolved neural systems or muscle specification — and perhaps refuted the independent evolution of anything else, SICB presenters linked crustaceans to insects.

Apparently, they’ve learned that the same set of microRNAs controls expression of the genes for rate-limiting enzymes that control the hormone production of different hormones in insects and crustaceans.

Why were they left with any questions about how crustaceans and insects could all be part of one big family? They linked RNA-mediated cell type differentiation to what we described in our section on molecular epigenetics in our 1996 Hormones and Behavior review. From Fertilization to Adult Sexual Behavior

I will add that the number of terms that could be reduced to link claims about energy to claims about cell type differentiation increasing. Attempts to avoid making claims that link energy-dependent changes in microRNAs from RNA-directed DNA methylation to amino acid substitutions and healthy longevity are prevented by researchers use these different terms for the same thing.
MicroRNAs are contextualized as enhancers, promotors, quantitative trait loci, RNA-based switches. mobile elements, extra-coding RNAs, CRISPR effectors, Oncocers, oncomiRNA, regeneration enhancer elements, isomiRs, regulatory polymorphisms, c-fos enhancers, potential signatures of environmental exposure or effect, key triggers of neuronal cell fate, and many other terms for the same thing.

Virus-driven energy theft causes apoptosis, which releases cell contents for recycling in the context of autophagy, which helps to ensure food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled RNA-mediated DNA repair in species from microbes to humans.

Gene bivalency at Polycomb domains regulates cranial neural crest positional identity

Journal article abstract excerpt (figure: Epigenetic regulation of cranial NC cell identity.)

A Polycomb-dependent poised chromatin organization underlies the positional plasticity of cranial premigratory NC cell progenitors. This chromatin prepattern is maintained through migration. In response to local cues encountered by the NC cells during or after their migration, the regulatory elements (E) and promoters (P) of differentially expressed genes switch from a poised to an active chromatin state, establishing transcriptional identities specific to subpopulations of NC cells.

The use of the term “chromatin prepattern” must be linked from endogenous RNA interference to all all biodiversity via transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Watch closely as all pseudoscientists, atheists and other biologically uninformed theorists finally realize there is no such thing as mutation-driven evolution except in the context of virus-driven energy theft, apoptosis, and the evolution of pathology. Virus-driven energy theft causes degradation of messenger RNA in the absence of nutrient energy-dependent pheromone-controlled RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions and DNA repair.

MicroRNAs Establish Uniform Traits during the Architecture of Vertebrate Embryos

Aberrant trait variance in miRNA mutant embryos uniquely sensitizes their vascular system to environmental perturbations. We discovered a previously unrecognized role for specific vertebrate miRNAs to protect tissue development against phenotypic variability.

Reported as: The role of tiny RNA in genetic diversity March 28, 2017

All species, from zebrafish to humans, possess a genetically diverse collection of traits that allow them to adapt to changing environments. Yet scientists do not fully understand how organisms reach a state of optimal diversity—just enough variability to respond to environmental risks but not too much to function properly.

Natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality is the link to optimal diversity. Conserved molecular mechanisms of nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled biodiversity have been linked from quorum sensing in bacteria to all cell type differentiation in all individuals of all species.
See: Feedback loops link odor and pheromone signaling with reproduction

These studies reveal a complex interplay between reproduction and other functions in which GnRH neurons appear to integrate information from multiple sources and modulate a variety of brain functions.

Escherichia coli and the peppered moth typically are typically used by biologically uninformed theorists as examples of mutation-driven evolution.

See the refutation: Evolutionary resurrection of flagellar motility via rewiring of the nitrogen regulation system

…this system enables us to understand the adaptive process in detail at the genetic and phenotypic level [over the weekend]. We identified a tractable model for gene network evolution and observed, in real time, the rewiring of gene networks to enable the incorporation of a modified component (NtrC′) creating a novel regulatory function by a highly repeatable two-step evolutionary pathway with the same point mutations often recurring in independent lineages.

They failed to differentiate between the term mutation and what occurs in the context of energy-dependent pheromone-controlled changes in the microRNA/messenger RNA balance via fixation of RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions in supercoiled DNA.
See: Structural diversity of supercoiled DNA

Six decades after the elucidation of its double helical structure, DNA continues to surprise us by revealing new information. Our cryo-ET, biochemical, and computational studies show the astounding versatility and dynamism of DNA depending on the degree of supercoiling. DNA simultaneously exists in a largely inactive B-form with bases tucked in and protected and an active, highly varied structure with exposed bases. Our data provide relative comparisons of supercoiling-dependent twisted, writhed, curved, and kinked conformations and associated base exposure. Each of these structural features may be differentially recognized by the proteins, nucleic acids, and small molecules that modulate DNA metabolic processes.

Nutrient-dependent pheromone-controlled reproduction in this moth species links the works of Karlson and Luscher (1959) Pheromones: a new term for a class of biologically active substances to the Bruce McEwen’s works on stress via Effects of Carnitine on Fatty-Acid Oxidation by Muscle (1959) and Dependence of RNA synthesis in isolated thymus nuclei on glycolysis, oxidative carbohydrate catabolism and a type of “oxidative phosphorylation” (1964)

The synthesis of RNA in isolated thymus nuclei is ATP dependent.

Taken together, these works are linked to energy-dependent Normalization of MicroRNA Expression. The anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight is the obvious link from the de novo creation of microRNAs to the ATP-dependent biosynthesis of messenger RNA and healthy longevity.  Virus-driven energy theft clearly links the degradation of messenger RNA, which would otherwise link the creation of microRNAs from sunlight to the nutrient energy-dependent pheromone-controlled biosynthesis of ATP and all cell type differentiation in all living genera.

For example see: Genetic 3’UTR variation is associated with human pigmentation characteristics and sensitivity to sunlight

To our knowledge, this is the first time that these two 3’UTR SNPs have been associated with sun-sensitivity traits. We state the potential implication of these SNPs in human pigmentation and sensitivity to sunlight, possibly as a result of changes in the level of gene expression through the disruption of putative miRNA-binding sites.

Re: … much ado about nothing — Jay R. Feierman.

SONNY [NEW]: As we’ve discussed many times, I reject your criteria for judging the merits of a scientific observation.  Arguing that something is “much ado about nothing,” if “the results can’t be predicted by common sense or by simple observation and deductive reasoning,” is exceptionally poor reasoning.  Frankly, I’m bewildered that someone like you would cling to it.  I’ll repeat:  any judgment that includes an evaluation based on “common sense” is DOA.  It’s useless.  Whose “common sense” do you intend to use?

More importantly, the authors DID establish a pre-observation “prediction.”

They predicted that young children will show the same variation in temperament as adults, and which is associated with the various BDNFval/66met polymorphisms.  They wrote, “To the best of our knowledge, there are no studies investigating the role of BDNFval66met with regard to individual differences in temperament during infancy, a period in which genetically-based behavioral traits are hypothesized to be more easily observed (Posner & Rothbart, 2009; Rothbart et al., 2000). Hence, the purpose of the current study was to explore the association between the BDNFval66met polymorphism and individual differences in temperament in a sample of healthy 4-month-old full-term infants.”

Moreover, the authors did a far better job than you did in discussing limitations.

They wrote as follows: “The current study had some limitations. First of all, due to sample size findings cannot be generalized and future studies with larger samples are needed in order to differentiate the impact of met-homozygous and heterozygous profiles of BDNFval66met genotype. Second, infants’ temperament was measured through a parent-reported measure. A more direct account of the effects of BDNF met allele on observed temperament and regulatory behavior is warranted to be investigated in future research. Finally, single polymorphism studies are at risk of underrepresenting the role of environmental conditions, including maternal caregiving behavior. As the quality of early caregiving has been found to regulate BDNF transcriptional functioning (Unternaehrer et al., 2015), we suggest that upcoming studies should target gene x environment interactions using genetic and epigenetic approaches.

To the best of our knowledge, this study is unique in providing evidence of an association between the BDNFval66met polymorphism and infants’ temperament at 4 months of life. The present study adds to previous genetic association research on temperament in infants looking at other polymorphisms (Auerbach et al., 2001; Ivorra et al., 2011), preliminarily suggesting a further genetic factor involved in temperament. Future research is warranted to investigate the BDNF-temperament association in greater populations of infants at low- and high-risk (e.g., preterm infants) and assuming a gene-x-gene and gene-x-environment approach (Papageorgiou & Ronald, 2013).”

Sonny Williams and Jay R. Feierman are antagonists who ignore the facts that link our predictions to all energy-dependent biophysically constrained biodiversity from our 1996 Hormones and Behavior. Our predictions were based on Bruce McEwen’s advice to start with the activation of genes. That is why we included a section on molecular epigenetics.

From Fertilization to Adult Sexual Behavior

All predictions have since been linked from the anti-entropic virucidal energy of sunlight to biophysically constrained RNA-mediated biodiversity by changes in base pairs linked from amino acid substitutions to differences in morphological and behavioral phenotypes during the development of moths and humans. The epigenetic effects of sunlight were predicted in the context of the nutrient energy-dependent de novo creation of microRNAs.
Anything ever linked to the gene-centric theories of neo-Darwinists has been replaced by what is known about energy-dependent endogenous RNA interference and all biophysically constrained biologically-based biodiversity on Earth. For example, pheromones biophysically constrain the physiology of reproduction in all living genera. They protect against virus-driven entropy by linking what organisms eat to the species-specific pheromone-controlled transgenerational epigenetic inheritance of species from microbes to humans.

What took them so long to link virus-driven energy theft from messenger RNA degradation to the negative supercoiling of DNA via G protein-coupled receptors?
Feedback loops link odor and pheromone signaling with reproduction

At least 10,000 neurons in 26 different brain areas appear to transmit signals directly to GnRH neurons.  GnRH neurons appear to transmit signals to as many as 30,000 or more neurons in 34 brain areas, consistent with previous studies showing GnRH+ fibers and GnRH receptors in multiple brain regions. These results may reflect a strategy wherein GnRH neurons can modify diverse functions in order to coordinate the internal state of the animal and its behavior with reproduction in order to optimize reproductive success.

Sal Giardina: apologetics revisited

March 26, 2017 Sal Giardina wrote:

“James, I appreciate your responding to my posts but I would prefer that your input would be related to the content of the post.”

My reply: If you do not want people to learn how my claims are linked to yours, please tell me that you intend to continue with apologetics rather the concept of energy as information.

Apologetics:

… the religious discipline of defending or proving the truth of religious doctrines through systematic argumentation and discourse.[1][2][3] Early Christian writers (c. 120–220) who defended their beliefs against critics and recommended their faith to outsiders were called Christian apologists.[4] In 21st century usage, ‘apologetics’ is often identified with debates over religion and theology.

In the context of debates over religion and theology, Sal Giardina opened discussion of physics, chemistry, and the conserved molecular epigenetics of RNA-mediated cell type differentiation. Secular humanists are scared by the ghosts of their biologically uninformed past and their ongoing ignorance. Fortunately for them, Sal Giardina and others like him cannot prove anything via the use of apologetics. So far as I know, the apologeticists have never convinced anyone to believe in any of their claims.

…no study has yet shown an effect of manipulating the expression of a particular microRNA on a behavioral or brain sex difference. In other words, we are still awaiting the demonstration that microRNAs contribute to sexual differentiation of the brain.

Olfaction is important to humans as well, but visual stimuli are far more potent and the arousal potential of same-sex versus opposite-sex images depends on the partner preference of the observer (see for review Baum, 2006).

Michael Baum and others still make ridiculous claims about visual input compared to the epigenetic effect of food odors and pheromones on energy-dependent microRNA-mediated cell type differentiation in species from microbes to humans. That fact supports my claim that people like him are biologically uninformed.

My comment: Femtosecond blasts of UV light link the sun’s virucidal energy to RNA-mediated DNA repair in all living genera. People who do not know that should simply admit that they biologically uninformed. Most of them are theorists who know nothing about anything that must be linked from angstroms to ecosystems. They should not antagonize those who are biologically informed serious scientists. Serious scientists publish experimental evidence in reports such as this one.

UV-Induced Charge Transfer States in DNA Promote Sequence Selective Self-Repair

Excerpt:

The sequences have been selected according special charge distributions and lifetimes of excimer states previously characterized by femtosecond infrared spectroscopy.(3a, 3c, 3d) With these selected sequences we demonstrate that repair occurs when the intrastrand charge transfer leads to a suitably charged nucleotide adjacent to the lesion.

My comment: The sequences cannot be selected outside the context of natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality, which is the basis for the control of hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs in solution. Control is manifested in the measurement of pH.

See for comparison: Jonas Edward Salk (October 28, 1914 – June 23, 1995) was an American medical researcher and virologist. He discovered and developed one of the first successful polio vaccines.

My comment: The fact that Jonas Edward Salk died in the same year that information about Coulombic interactions was published exemplifies the fact that we still need people like Salk to lead the way towards more scientific progress.

Is everyone who could do that already dead? Have people like Sal Giardina and other apologeticists replaced them. Will any of the works from the early 1990s to 1964 be resurrected before all of humanity is irreversibly impacted?

See for example: Biology, molecular and organismic (1964)

The notion has gained some currency that the only worthwhile biology is molecular biology. All else is “bird watching” or “butterfly collecting.” Bird watching and butterfly collecting are occupations manifestly unworthy of serious scientists! I have heard a man whose official title happens to be Professor of Zoology declare to an assembly of his colleagues that “a good man cannot teach zoology. A good man can teach, of course, only molecular biology.

Such pronunciamentos can be dismissed as merely ridiculous. They are, however, caricatures of opinions entertained by some intelligent and reasonable people, whose views deserve an honest and careful consideration and analysis. Science must cope with new problems that arise and devise new approaches to old problems. Some lines of research become less profitable and less exciting and others more so.

Links from the creation of nucleic acid precursors to entropy and mutation-driven evolution are still being addressed by apologeticists who know nothing about physics, chemistry, or molecular epigenetics.

My comment: Terra Firma is the battlefield mentioned in the video (a village in central Brazil). Stephen Morse, virologist at Rockefeller is fighting on the side of virus-driven entropy, which he attributes to emergence and evolution. For example, His book, Emerging Viruses (Oxford University Press) was selected by “American Scientist” for its list of “100 Top Science Books of the 20th Century”.

My comment: According to the book, our innate immune system emerged and evolved to become the source of all pathology. If the innate immune system is referred to as our “immune system” the word innate changes to evolved, and mutations are linked to evolution in the context of ridiculous neo-Darwinian theories. That is how emerging viruses are automagically linked to all healthy longevity via polycombic ecocological adaptation and to all pathology via hecatombic evolution.
We have come full circle back to the definitions that are used and discussed in Polycombic ecological adaptation as a science, not a theory (2):
See also:  The Human Virome

For comparison, see: Mutation-Driven Evolution

Excerpt:

Mutation… includes nucleotide substitution, insertion/deletion, segmental gene duplication, genomic duplication, changes in gene regulatory systems, transposition of genes, horizontal gene transfer, etc.

My comment: The definition above links mutations to any change in any genome. It does not link virus-driven energy theft toi mutations and all pathology.

Excerpt:

Single nucleotide substitutions or indels [insertions/deletions] can lead to several hemoglobin variants owing to amino acid replacements, while molecular defects [mutations] in either regulatory or coding regions of the human HBA2, HBA1, HBB or HBD genes can minimally or drastically reduce their expression, leading to α-, β- or δ-thalassemia, respectively.

My comment: The facts about nutrient energy-dependent single nucleotide substitutions and RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions link hemoglobin variants to healthy longevity and the facts link molecular defects to the pathology of α-, β- or δ-thalassemia, respectively.

Conclusion:

If we wanted to compare the diversity of two forests, we would want to look at climate, elevation, drainage, available nutrients, proximity to human disturbance, soils, etc. Diversity can be impacted by a slew of factors. While this is a fun and rather ridiculous example of how species counts and diversity works, the leap to how this can inform ecology, management, and conservation is clear.

My comment: The fact that nothing known about virus-driven energy theft is included in their comparisons makes the most important of all comparisons irrelevant to their claims about how climate, elevation, drainage, available nutrients, proximity to human disturbance, soils, etc. link ecological variation to polycombic ecological adaptation via the physiology of reproduction in all living genera.
See for comparison: An NS-segment exonic splicing enhancer regulates influenza A virus replication in mammalian cells

G540A supports virus replication in mammalian cells while retaining replication ability in avian cells. Host splicing regulator, SF2, interacts with this ESE to regulate splicing of NEP/NS1 mRNA and G540A substitution affects SF2–ESE interaction. The NS1 protein directly interacts with SF2 in the nucleus and modulates splicing of NS mRNAs during virus replication.

Reported as: Single nucleotide change responsible for allowing H7N9 flu to jump from birds to humans found
The identification of the G540A links the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) from a biomarker in fowl infected with a flu variant to what was reported as mutation.
Researchers assumed that “…the mutation played a role in allowing the virus to spread between humans once it made the leap from an avian source.”
As usual, they found no evidence to support that ridiculous claim. That ridiculous claim is among many others that theorists thought could be used to link mutations to evolution via mathematical models instead of facts about nutrient energy-dependent pheromone-controlled biophysically constrained RNA-mediated cell type differentiation.

One particular protein, Pex11b, caught her attention. It is associated with the membrane that surrounds the peroxisome, an organelle that helps to free energy from food.

“While some evidence already suggested the distribution of organelles, including energy-producing mitochondria, can influence the outcome of cell division, we have shown for the first time that this phenomenon is essential to the proper behavior of and formation of the tissue,” says Fuchs, who is also a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator.

This unexpected influence of food energy on endogenous RNA interference and cell type differentiation in skin cells from mice was first reported one month ago. However, the influence of food on the survival of all species is known to all serious scientists.

For example, see Schrodinger (1944). He linked the anti-entropic energy of sunlight from all energy-dependent biophysically constrained viral latency to healthy longevity before Roger Penrose (1991) mentioned this in his forward to the reprint edition:

How often do we still hear that quantum effects can have little relevance in the study of biology, or even that we eat food in order to gain energy?

In 1991, Penrose reduced the systems complexity of biophysically constrained top-down energy-dependent viral latency to the question of where the energy in a hydrogen atom comes from.comes from. Schrodinger suggested it came from sunlight in an attempt to stop the pseudoscientific nonsense about mutations that was touted after de Vries defined “mutation” in 1902. So far, no experimental evidence of biologically-based cause and effect has limited the claims about mutations and evolution that are made by biologically uninformed theorists.

Hard Two-Photon Contribution to Elastic Lepton-Proton Scattering Determined by the OLYMPUS Experiment (March 3, 2017)

The resulting values of R2γ, presented here for a wide range of virtual photon polarization 0.456<ε<0.978, are smaller than some hadronic two-photon exchange calculations predict, but are in reasonable agreement with a subtracted dispersion model and a phenomenological fit to the form factor data.

The phenomenological fit links the claims of Schrodinger and concerns of Penrose to this report on the Lepton-Proton Scattering. The title includes the joke about the link from sunlight to evolution that Dobzansky (1973) reported as: Nothing in Biology Makes Any Sense Except in the Light of Evolution. Dobzhansky’s clever creationist attack on neo-Darwinian theorists, who failed to link the creation of the sun to all biologically-based cause and effect went virtually unnoticed despite his claim:

I am a creationist and an evolutionist. Evolution is God’s, or Nature’s, method of Creation.

No experimental evidence of biologically-based cause and effect links Dobzhansky’s claims about amino acid substitutions to evolution. For contrast, all claims made by other serious scientists link sunlight to energy-dependent changes in angstroms to ecosystems in all living genera.

The two-photon contribution to the structure of protons and the biophysically constrained functional structure of supercoiled DNA was reported as:

OLYMPUS experiment sheds light on structure of protons

…experiments had previously led researchers to assume that the electric and magnetic charge distributions are the same, and that one photon—an elementary particle of light—is exchanged when the protons interact with the bombarding electrons.

…two photons are indeed exchanged during electron-proton interactions.

However, unlike the theoretical predictions, analysis of the OLYMPUS measurements suggests that, most of the time, only one of the photons has high energy, while the other must carry very little energy indeed…

Natural selection for the higher energy photon is the most likely link from the anti-entropic effects of sunlight to energy-dependent codon optimality and cell type differentiation in all living genera via the physiology of pheromone-controlled reproduction and endogenous RNA interference.
The links from higher energy photons to energy-dependent changes in chirality and autophagy extend what is known about RNA-mediated DNA repair. The molecular mechanisms of DNA repair helped to establish sunlight as the energy source for hydrogen-atom transfer in DNA base pairs in solution. The most recent report on one carbon metabolism also extends what is known about subatomic particles to the creation of the energy in hydrogen atoms and differences in the structure of teeth.
See: Evidence for dietary change but not landscape use in South African early hominins (2012)
Reported as: Millions of years of evolutionary history recorded in teeth (March 3, 2017)
The nonsense about the evolutionary history was refuted in 2013. See: System-wide Rewiring Underlies Behavioral Differences in Predatory and Bacterial-Feeding Nematodes
A change in diet was linked to differences in C. elegans and a predatory nematode with teeth. They claimed that the differences emerged during 200 million years, but no experimental evidence of biologically-based cause and effect has ever supported such ridiculous claims.

Please place the feedback loops into the context of how PCR applications are linked to what is known about cell type differentiation via virus-driven degradation of messenger RNA (mRNA), or linked by nutrient energy-dependent endogenous RNA interference to healthy longevity.

A snapshot of the most common PCR application

1) “Another possible application: looking for an RNA target, either viral or an endogenous mRNA.”
2) “…the IC [internal control] should be RNA to reflect the desired sample type.”
3) Conclusion: An understanding of the overall method workflow and some of the possible causes of false positive or negative results is thus beneficial in appropriately interpreting test results in the full clinical context.The light energy as information-induced de novo creation of RNA, protein, and lipid precursors links the common origin of amino acids to cell type differentiation in all living genera via endogenous RNA interference and the physiology of reproduction, which links supercoiled DNA to chromosomal inheritance.
See: Common origins of RNA, protein and lipid precursors in a cyanosulfidic protometabolism
John Brunstein indirectly suggests that supercoiled DNA prevents mutation-driven evolution. Unless the mutations can be linked from amino acid substitutions to pathology, he also seems to also be suggesting that neo-Darwinian theories are sources of errors.  Researchers are virtually guaranteed to fail, if they start with theories and try to link the possible causes of energy-dependent  false positive or negative results from the National Microbiome Initiative cell type differentiation in the context of the Precision Medicine Initiative.
I hope that someone like John Brunstein will comment on facts about the degradation of messenger RNA (mRNA). For example, virus-driven energy theft appears to link mRNA degradation to all pathology.  If he does not agree, I hope he knows of an alternative model that links energy-dependent RNA-mediated amino acid substitutions to all healthy longevity and something else to all pathology.
In any case,  I believe it is past time to eliminate neo-Darwinian theories, which link beneficial mutations to the stability of organized genomes in all living genera, but link amino acid substitutions to the stability of viruses.

The major antigenic changes of the influenza virus are primarily caused by a single amino acid near the receptor binding site.

See for comparison: Perhaps no single tool in the human arsenal explains our existence more than fire.

Watch Jason Silva tell you about the importance of fire in an attempt to link the pseudoscientific nonsense touted by theorists to survival of all species except those that do not need to eat. Those species must have emerged and automagically evolved to become people like Jason Silva who can tell others how that happened, but won’t.

He can tell others about the importance of fire. Watch as everyone else in the world starts to link energy-dependent endogenous RNA interference to biophysically constrained gene activation and link virus-driven energy theft to all pathology during the cell type differentiation of all species from microbes to humans.

See for example: Services – QuantSeq 3’ mRNA-Seq Libraries

Lexogen provides a fully integrated service-workflow for generation of QuantSeq 3’ mRNA-Seq libraries, multiplexed sequencing, and data analysis. QuantSeq libraries are produced from total RNA to yield Illumina-compatible sequences close to the 3’ end of polyadenylated RNA.

Then wait for someone to tell you more about the importance of fire.

Alternatively, place everything known about energy-dependent RNA-mediated cell type differentiation back into the context of “Nature.”
See: Nature Fights Back Against Gene Editing
Then, stop calling it “Nature” and learn what serious scientists already know about the energy-dependent links from angstroms to ecosystems in all living genera. If not, now that the Allen Institute has linked food energy as information to brain development, you will be asked to tell others how “Nature” created everything from subatomic particles to the hydrogen-atom energy. Then, the next question will be about how the energy is transferred in DNA base pairs in solution to allow natural selection for energy-dependent codon optimality and the physiology of reproduction in all living genera.

Suzan Mazur: Do viruses play a role in regulating L-form bacteria?

Jeffery Errington: That’s a good question. Of course, much of the research on bacteriophages has shown that they tend to bind to components of the cell wall, so certainly you’d anticipate that L-forms would be resistant to many forms of virus. But I don’t know if much work has been done on this.

Anyone who does not know how much experimental evidence links food energy to all biodiversity via the pheromone-controlled physiology of reproduction is not likely to know enough about anything that could be linked from bacteriophages to all pathology via the degradation of messenger RNA.
