GENETIC MERGER. "Another example is that of cilia, the rods in the retina, the tail of sperm cells, sensory hairs and many similar appendages of nucleated cells which arose during the original merger of archaebacteria and a swimming bacterium. The bodies they contain (so-called “centriole-kinetosomes”) arose through this archaic merger." https://lnkd.in/eDswHmC View in LinkedIn

NEW INFO #5. "Viruses and their various roles in evolution and developmental processes as obligate inhabitants of cellular genomes change our view on the evolution and function of the nucleic acid language and its interconnection with the amino acid language. Some authors suggest the existence of a fourth domain of life, the virosphere." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

THE VIROSPHERE. "Vastly more virus species exist than previously thought (100 million or more, outnumbering any other type of organism) and they are to be found in pretty much every environment on the planet." https://lnkd.in/eD4R5hH View in LinkedIn

VIRUSES AND EVOLUTION. "A significant part of the human genome turns out to consist of viral genes and it is beginning to look as though the ability of viruses to transfer genes to and from their hosts and each other — so spreading genes throughout the biological world — may have been an important factor in the evolution of species." https://lnkd.in/eD4R5hH View in LinkedIn

NEW INFO #6. "If we look at the flexible and dynamic expansion of information processes through epigenetic programming and reprogramming, alternative splicing and RNA-editing, we must confess today that investigations of the genomic contents of organisms with the molecular biology tools of the last 5 decades have yielded more questions than answers." https://lnkd.in/eUYvi8e View in LinkedIn

ACUTE COMMUNICATION. "The microbiological community is exposed to a broad range of chemical substances in which an incredible variety of chemical messenger substances is embedded, from which they must be able to take up and interpret the correct ones in order to survive. It is very difficult to imagine how bacteria can differentiate between sense and nonsense in their chemical environment, in which they are constantly bombarded from all sides by small molecules." https://lnkd.in/eDswHmC View in LinkedIn

EPIGENETICS. "Today, a wide variety of illnesses, behaviors, and other health indicators already have some level of evidence linking them with epigenetic mechanisms, including cancers of almost all types, cognitive dysfunction, and respiratory, cardiovascular, reproductive, autoimmune, and neurobehavioral illnesses." https://lnkd.in/evZabC3 View in LinkedIn

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
