TWO KINGDOM MYOPIA: PLANTS VS ANIMALS. The new five kingdom system of classification overcomes some previous problems. https://lnkd.in/gYETt8v View in LinkedIn

FRAGMENT FROM NATURE contemplates swarm behavior, swarm intelligence and individuality versus community living in the humble slime mold. You may find a slime mold in your back garden or in the local woods. But these creatures are far from simple. Without a brain, or with a nervous system, they are capable of remarkably complex data processing: thinking without a nervous system. View in LinkedIn

QUESTION 2. "Why Would Genes that Have a Higher Density of Introns be More Enriched in exonic splice enhancers?" https://lnkd.in/drMDPh6 View in LinkedIn

CHEMICALS AND PULSES. “Cells in close spatial proximity to one another eventually synchronise, resulting in multiple ‘competing’ pulse centres. As some oscillatory centres accumulate more cells by chance, cAMP concentrations in the surrounding areas increase, causing oscillatory centres to pulse at a faster rate, thereby releasing more cAMP into the environment.” https://academic.oup.com/femsre/article/40/6/798/2400841 View in LinkedIn

QUESTION 1. "What Could be the Function(s) of exonic splice enhancers in Intronless Genes?" https://lnkd.in/drMDPh6 View in LinkedIn

BURNT NORTON by TSE." ""Time present and time past" "Are both perhaps present in time future" "And time future contained in time past." "If all time is eternally present" "All time is unredeemable." https://lnkd.in/gWpeKKa View in LinkedIn

UNBROKEN CONTINUITY. "The germ-line of species is immortal, at least in the sense that an unbroken continuity extends backwards in time to the origin of terrestrial life and forwards in time to an indeterminate future. This observation is a truism." https://lnkd.in/gVUuUB6 View in LinkedIn

IMMORTAL LINK. "Animal germline cells ultimately produce eggs and sperm, providing an immortal link to the next generation." https://lnkd.in/gWaCZiv View in LinkedIn

SPECIAL CELLS. "Germ cells possess a dual identity: they are both highly specialized and uniquely capable of forming an entirely new organism." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009286740800202X View in LinkedIn

FOOTNOTE. "Germ cells are often described as the ultimate totipotent stem cell. However, germ cells give rise to only sperm or eggs, and it is not until the fertilization of the egg or parthenogenesis that an entirely new organism arises. Therefore, germ cells are unipotent cells that retain a totipotent potential that is eventually transferred to the zygote at fertilization." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009286740800202X View in LinkedIn
