NEW VIEW. “The traditional view, that prokaryotic evolution can be understood primarily in terms of clonal divergence and periodic selection, must be augmented to embrace gene exchange as a creative force, itself responsible for much of the pattern of similarities and differences we see between prokaryotic microbes.” https://lnkd.in/djKBnru View in LinkedIn

ENERGY AT SCALE. “Nature can be defined by the organizing principles of her energy flow that we are able to understand her in a more comprehensive way. These organizing principles are present in all of Nature at all scales and all levels.” https://lnkd.in/ga-TtUt View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE continues the meditation on nature’s connectivity from a remarkable essay by Bill Graham, a former marine biologist. As a scientist, he has not only made his own observations and gathered those of others together, but has formulated some general principles about interconnectivity. I hope that you enjoy this as much as I have. View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL RECOMBINATION EVENTS. “Because of recombination, “phylogenies of different genes from individuals of the same species should be significantly different, whereas the phylogeny of genes from individuals of different species should not be significantly different”. That is, frequent recombination should result in conflicting molecular phylogenies for genes in conspecific organisms.” https://lnkd.in/djKBnru View in LinkedIn
