Genomes, Gould, and Emergence

چکیده
The publication of the human genome has elicited commentary to the effect that since fewer genes were identified than anticipated, it follows that genes are less important to human biology than anticipated. The flaws in this syllogism are explained in the context of a treatise on how genomes operate and evolve and how genes function to produce embryos and brains. Most of our most cherished human traits are the result of the emergence of new properties from pre-existing genetically scripted ideas, offering countless opportunities to celebrate the evolutionary process.

FUZZY GOULD INTEGRABILITY ON ATOMS
In this paper we study the relationships existing between total measurability in variation and Gould type fuzzy integrability (introduced and studied in [21]), giving a special interest on their behaviour on atoms and on finite unions of disjoint atoms. We also establish that any continuous real valued function defined on a compact metric space is totally measurable in the variation of a regula...
متن کاملCoronavirus 2 Acute respiratory syndrome: Emergence, Evolution and thrapeutic prevention strategies
The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 that began in Wuhan, China, has constituted a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, and spread all over the world. In a phylogenetic network analysis of human severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2) genomes, three central variants were distinguished by amino acid changes, which named A, B, and C; with A being the ancestral type a...

متن کاملJay Gould on species selection : 30 years of insight Bruce
—Stephen Jay Gould made impressive contributions to macroevolutionary theory; one of the topics in this area that particularly interested him was how to define and recognize species selection. Here we explore how and why Gould’s ideas on concepts related to species selection evolved over 30 years, from the punctuated equilibria paper of 1972 to his ‘‘Structure of Evolutionary Theory’’ magnum op...
متن کاملTiming the Emergence of Resistance to Anti-HIV Drugs with Large Genetic Barriers
New antiretroviral drugs that offer large genetic barriers to resistance, such as the recently approved inhibitors of HIV-1 protease, tipranavir and darunavir, present promising weapons to avert the failure of current therapies for HIV infection. Optimal treatment strategies with the new drugs, however, are yet to be established. A key limitation is the poor understanding of the process by whic...
