NOT BY MUTATIONS. "The syncytic gene complex was transferred via a persistent retroviral infection event and not by mutations of previously available genetic sequences." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

"CONTEXT, not syntax, determines meaning: epigenetic imprinting codes environmental needs." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

MUTATIONS ARE NOT ENUGH. "Syntax-based quantitative approaches that focus on nucleus acid sequences as information-bearing molecules will have problems explaining why identical nucleic acid sequences may have different and, in extreme cases, even contradictory meanings. This energy-saving technique is made possible through epigenetic imprinting." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

MOBILE INTERFACES. "The infection-derived mobile genetic elements are possible candidates for epigenetic control and serve as the interface between experienced real-life events and genome change." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

NON-MENDELIAN INHERITANCE. "We know that plants can reactivate the genetic features of their grand- or great-grandparents if the genetic content they inherited from their parents does not have the appropriate competence to resist environmental circumstances." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

THE IMPLICATION OF EPIGENETICS. "Epigenetic marking signifies a crucial ability of living agents: memory and learning." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

BACTERIAL MEMORY. "At the current stage of research on RNA-mediated epigenetic processes, we know that, even in prokaryotes, epigenetic imprinting exists, and that bacterial populations can memorize and learn to adapt faster and tailor their behavior to special situations/environmental circumstances." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

BIG SWITCH. "Within the last decade, increasing knowledge about the abundance of non-coding RNAs that play important roles in genetic- and epigenetic-regulation processes, has placed the dominant interest in the genetic storage medium DNA. Now RNA is in the driver's seat." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

DYNAMIC AND MODULAR. "The exaptations of former (infection-derived) inventions to more more appropriate needs...offering a highly dynamic modular perspective on these interacting agents." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/nyas.12570/abstract View in LinkedIn

RNA CONNECTED. "It appears that all the detailed steps of evolution stored in DNA that are read, transcribed, and translated in every developmental and growth process of each individual cell depend on RNA-mediated processes, in most cases interconnected with other RNAs and their associated protein complexes and functions in a strict hierarchy of temporal and spatial steps." https://lnkd.in/euyhznh View in LinkedIn
