NEO-LAMARCKISM. "The neodarwinistic paradigm of chance mutations and selection is refuted nowadays through research results which identify a higher order regulation code in the non-protein coding regions of genome architecture. This higher order regulation code is subject/object to environmental influences which become hereditable, with the effect that a different use of protein coding core components leads to different genetic organization." https://lnkd.in/eDswHmC View in LinkedIn

COLLABORATIVE VIRAL SWARMS. "We therefore focus on some aspects of the consortia networks of viruses and subviral agents: RNA stem-loop swarms and viral and subviral networks (SINEs, LINEs, Alus) that cooperate and coordinate (regulate) within cellular genomes as infection-derived modular tools such as noncoding RNAs." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

"CONTRARY to the conventional view that proteins evolve one amino acid at a time, we realized over 40 years ago that larger-scale changes play a major role. Whatever the exact molecular mechanism may be, duplication of an entire protein coding sequence can only occur by NGE, not by a succession of small mutations."

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

"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

"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

KEY FINDING. "One of the most interesting discoveries in the last decades was certainly the fact that nucleic acid sequences are not only information bearing molecules that serve as a read-only storage medium, but they can be actively modified by several coplayers." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn
