Abiogenesis vs microRNA Biogenesis (1)

|

Retroviruses, such as human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) cause one gene to influence two or more seemingly unrelated morphological and/or behavioral phenotypic traits. The HERVs are biophysically constrained by naturally occurring food energy-dependent pheromone-controlled feedback loops, which all serious scientists have linked from Darwin’s “conditions of life” to all biodiversity across kingdoms via transgenerational epigenetic inheritance … Abiogenesis vs microRNA Biogenesis (1)

10,000 reasons to believe in biophysical constraints (2)

If you are going to #SFN2018 #SFN, you may need an update on what is known to all serious scientists. For example, compared to theorists, serious scientists know how ecological variation must link food odors and pheromones from jumping genes and transposons in bacteria to biophysically constrained ecological adaptations in vertebrates. In all vertebrates with … 10,000 reasons to believe in biophysical constraints (2)

Virus, transposon and plasmid evolution

|

A novel group of diverse Polinton-like viruses discovered by metagenome analysis Excerpt: This class of selfish elements is extremely widespread and might have been a hotbed of eukaryotic virus, transposon and plasmid evolution. New families of these elements are expected to be discovered. My comment: How much longer will Koonin’s group keep trying to convince … Virus, transposon and plasmid evolution
