“The main takeaway from the study is that the mind may be resilient and be able to put things behind it, but the body doesn’t forget. It may remain on alert, waiting for the next thing to happen,” said Phebe Tucker, M.D. author of the study.” #isogg #epigenetics #DNA #geneadons

Most of us know that our traits can be inherited by DNA, but scientists have now found amyloid structures can have inheritable traits. Amyloid is normally associated with Alzheimers. Amyloids are extra proteins and have been found to contain structures that are able to replicate like that of DNA. One theory suggests that this may help to predict diseases that are not able to be predicted by DNA alone. popularmechanics.com/science/h

Happy to see Rosalind Franklin recognized in an official #FDA guidance published in Nov '24, referring to "Watson-Crick-Franklin" base pairs. The term "Watson-Crick base pairs" referred to the specific pairing of nucleotide bases (A/T, G/C) in the #DNA double helix. Franklin's critical X-ray data enabled Watson and Crick to deduce the double-helix structure but her contribution was down-played and only recently recognized. Hopefully the triple ref will stick!

In 2006 a group of ancient graves were unearthed in Yeongdong-ri, Naju in the southwest of #Korea. One of the graves, a set of multigenerational 5th- to 6th-century burial chambers holding a family, yielded nine extremely well-preserved human skeletons. #DNA sequencing revealed shared mitochondrial heritage between the jointly-buried bodies, indicating a matrilineal family structure. The remains were also more closely related to humans in modern Kyushu, #Japan than modern Korean or older Japanese populations, hinting at exchanges and movement between the Naju and Kyushu regions. #history #archaeology

I'm disgusted by the hyperbole but relieved the story is a lie.

No, dire wolves haven't been brought back from extinction, and I don't believe any species should be, at least for now.

We are careless and irresponsible and restoring extinct species will have negative unintended consequences that outweigh all possible positive consequences.
