SEVEN PIECES of new data accumulated in the last two decades change prevailing paradigms in molecular biology. In summary: #1. Mobile genetic elements; #2. Reverse genetics; #3. Non-coding DNA and RNA is not junk; #4. Endosymbiosis of third domain; #5. Role of Viruses in evolution; #6. Epigenetics; #7. communication between cells and molecules. Combined together, these now constitute a new hypothesis about developmental processes, evolution, and molecular biology. View in LinkedIn
MOLECULAR BIOLOGY REVISED. "Recent empirical data on genetic code compositions and rearrangements by mobile genetic elements and noncoding RNAs, together with results of virus research and their role in evolution, does not really fit into these concepts and compel a reexamination." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
RNA AGENTS DRIVE EVOLUTION. "It seems plausible now that if we look at the abundance of regulatory RNAs and persistent viruses in host genomes, we will find more and more evidence that the key players that edit the genetic codes of host genomes are consortia of RNA agents and viruses that drive evolutionary novelty and regulation of cellular processes in all steps of development." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
"EVOLUTIONARY INSCRIPTIONS are those written into the DNA sequence structure that influence taxonomic divergence. Although the traditional concept of gradual genome change in evolution assumes that these inscriptions have to accumulate within vertical lineages over long chronological periods, some evolutionary inscriptions clearly occur in a single organismal generation by cell actions outside normal vertical heredity." http://www.thethirdwayofevolution.com/people/view/james-a-shapiro View in LinkedIn
"SYMBIOGENESIS (engulfment that led to nucleus, chloroplast and mitochondria), horizontal gene transfer, matings between different species making hybrids, genomic instability, and the biology of viruses have all contributed to a rethinking of classical Darwinian ideas." http://www.thethirdwayofevolution.com/people/view/james-a-shapiro View in LinkedIn
BACTERIAL INCORPORATION. "Margulis refers to the term symbiogenesis coined by Mereschkowsky and Wallin. The authors argue that new tissues, organs, organisms and species arise from entering into long-term, permanent symbioses. Bacteria were permanently incorporated into animal and plant cells as plastids and mitochondria." https://lnkd.in/ebPshsX View in LinkedIn
