VIRAL SOCIAL MEDIA. "In contrast to traditional and linear thinking, all these features (group identity, addiction modules, regulatory complexity, network emergence, host–virus ecology, and host–host competition) are fundamentally interlinked and consortial. They are inherently network phenomena." https://lnkd.in/eWydwab View in LinkedIn

DEFECTIVE PARASITES. "In most cases, parts of infectious agents remain as defectives some known as LTRs, non-LTRs, SINEs, LINEs, and Alu’s which are later on co-adapted for cellular needs such as regulation tools in all steps and fine-tuned substeps of cellular functions such as, e.g., transcription, translation, epigenetics, repair, and immunity." https://lnkd.in/eWydwab View in LinkedIn

SHAPING EVOLUTION. "Obligate symbiotic relationships shape the evolution of partner lineages. In symbioses that are mutually beneficial, partners evolve traits that enable and stabilize the symbiosis: this cooperative coevolution is emphasized in most studies of symbioses. Genomic work has also revealed that obligate symbiosis produces unusual genome modifications, including extreme reduction, rapid protein evolution, and codon reassignments, all of which are evident in ancient obligate symbionts of insects." https://lnkd.in/dcBwzRs View in LinkedIn

SONG OF DARWIN. "The more I study nature, the more I become impressed […] that the contrivances and beautiful adaptations [acquired through natural selection] transcend in an incomparable degree [those] which the most fertile imagination of the most imaginative man could suggest with unlimited time at his disposal." https://lnkd.in/eykUy37 View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues with the theme of endosymbiont inheritance as part of a spectrum that concluded in the permanent engulfment of algae to form the permanent organelles chloroplasts and mitochondria during our evolutionary past. It also continues on the theme that biological individuality is an old concept and that we are holobionts, mosaic creatures composed of the genes of many species. View in LinkedIn

NEW CONCEPT. "In this way what historically seemed to be competing and selfish viruses can instead provide a unifying collective of viruses (and their defective participants) to better explain evolution, conservation as well as the plasticity and often cumulative genetic identities of complex organisms more coherently than the previous quasispecies concept." https://lnkd.in/eWydwab View in LinkedIn
