DNA Methylation Influences Replication and Genome Organization
Recommendable! Appears to be a major work on this subject by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia
"Most cancer cells have genomes that are much less methylated than those of normal cells, but whether this loss of methylation, an epigenetic process, has any functional meaning for the cells has long been an unanswered question. Now researchers show that the loss of DNA methylation across the genome changes the timing of DNA replication and alters the shape of the 3-D compartmentalization of DNA, which helps steer gene expression. ...
For the past 25 years or so, Susan Clark and her group at Garvan Institute of Medical Research in Australia have been interested in how epigenetics is involved in cancer. As most cancer cells lose DNA methylation throughout the genome, it was surprising how little was known about the global consequences of the hypomethylation ...
One next step would be “a comparison between healthy cells, precancerous cells, and cancer cells,” ... “What we’ve got represented here is a picture of cancer and aberrant DNA methylation, but that doesn’t just happen all at once. I’d like to see what happens in DNA methylation, 3-D genome organization, and DNA replication timing during the process of oncogenesis.”"

From the abstract:
"DNA replication timing and three-dimensional (3D) genome organization are associated with distinct epigenome patterns across large domains. However, whether alterations in the epigenome, in particular cancer-related DNA hypomethylation, affects higher-order levels of genome architecture is still unclear. Here, using Repli-Seq, single-cell Repli-Seq, and Hi-C, we show that genome-wide methylation loss is associated with both concordant loss of replication timing precision and deregulation of 3D genome organization. Notably, we find distinct disruption in 3D genome compartmentalization, striking gains in cell-to-cell replication timing heterogeneity and loss of allelic replication timing in cancer hypomethylation models, potentially through the gene deregulation of DNA replication and genome organization pathways. ..."

How is Memory Stored Within the Brain? | Kavli Foundation Tomás Ryan explores the commonality of memory and instinct to try to understand how the brain stores informational units. Neuroscientists don’t fully understand how information gets encoded within our brains, but Tomás Ryan, a neuroscientist and associate professor in the School of Biochemistry and Immunology at the Trinity College Institute of Neuroscience in Dublin, Ireland, as well as the chair of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS)-Kavli Network, is shining new light on memories and their storage mechanism.
It showed ... that the two contradictory aspects of memory can be reconciled. “We could explain why memory is both fragile and lasts forever, because not all memory loss is about losing the memory,” ...

“If it lasts your entire lifetime, it must be stored by a durable mechanism.”

Scientists confirm universal law of Peripheral Sensory Adaptation Response
Amazing stuff! An interesting meta study!
"... The findings are based on data from hundreds of unrelated independent studies, which used different methods and were performed across different time periods spanning decades. Although this is by no means absolute proof, the unified nature of this research strengthens the notion that all things process stimuli according to a universal law. ..."
From the abstract:
"Measurements of the peripheral sensory adaptation response were compared to a simple mathematical relationship involving the spontaneous, peak, and steady-state activities. This relationship is based on the geometric mean and is found to be obeyed to good approximation in peripheral sensory units showing a sustained response to prolonged stimulation. From an extensive review of past studies, the geometric mean relationship is shown to be independent of modality and is satisfied in a wide range of animal species. The consilience of evidence, from nearly 100 years of experiments beginning with the work of Edgar Adrian, suggests that this is a fundamental result of neurophysiology."

About 69% of the world’s diet is ‘foreign’, and this map proves it
In German language, there is a proverb: Liebe geht durch den Magen (Love goes through the stomach). If you are a chef, the world is yours!
"... The Columbian Exchange is illustrative in this regard since it arguably saw the greatest number of new crops exchanged over a given period of time. Not long after 1492, Old World crops such as wheat, barley, rice, and turnips made their way across the Atlantic, while New World crops such as maize, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, and manioc were quickly embraced in Europe. ..."
From the abstract:
"Research into the origins of food plants has led to the recognition that specific geographical regions around the world have been of particular importance to the development of agricultural crops. Yet the relative contributions of these different regions in the context of current food systems have not been quantified. Here we determine the origins (‘primary regions of diversity’) of the crops comprising the food supplies and agricultural production of countries worldwide. We estimate the degree to which countries use crops from regions of diversity other than their own (‘foreign crops’), and quantify changes in this usage over the past 50 years. Countries are highly interconnected with regard to primary regions of diversity of the crops they cultivate and/or consume. Foreign crops are extensively used in food supplies (68.7% of national food supplies as a global mean are derived from foreign crops) and production systems (69.3% of crops grown are foreign). Foreign crop usage has increased significantly over the past 50 years, including in countries with high indigenous crop diversity. The results provide a novel perspective on the ongoing globalization of food systems worldwide, and bolster evidence for the importance of international collaboration on genetic resource conservation and exchange."

The vast majority of human genes have been tied to cancer, complicating research
This sounds like a potentially serious conundrum! Hope, this will be resolved soon! Or is it mostly hype?
However, just a mentioning of cancer in a research paper related to human genes does not mean the research subject was cancer! Thus, a big grain of salt is suspected here and the relevance of this research result is somewhat questionable!
"... The University of Liverpool researcher started to wonder just how many human genes are associated with cancer, and set about doing an analysis of genetic papers on the online medical archive PubMed. Of the 17,371 human genes studied at one point or another in papers in the archive, the vast majority have some connection to cancer. ..."

Notes on "Learning in High Dimension Always Amounts to Extrapolation"
Recommendable! This latest paper by Facebook AI research and co-authored by Yann LeCun seems to raise some serious issues about machine learning and its prediction capabilities.
From the abstract:
"The notion of interpolation and extrapolation is fundamental in various fields from deep learning to function approximation. ... One fundamental (mis)conception is that state-of-the-art algorithms work so well because of their ability to correctly interpolate training data. A second (mis)conception is that interpolation happens throughout tasks and datasets, in fact, many intuitions and theories rely on that assumption. We ... demonstrate that on any high-dimensional (>100) dataset, interpolation almost surely never happens. Those results challenge the validity of our current interpolation/extrapolation definition as an indicator of generalization performances."

Rapper behind 'Let's Go Brandon' anti-Biden song speaks out about free speech double standards

Was Bundespräsident Steinmeier über SED Kanzlerin Merkel zu sagen versäumte
Empfehlenswert!
"Nach 16 Jahren kann Angela Merkel zufrieden gehen, das Feld ist schlecht bestellt, ihre Saat geht auf. Deutschland steht bereits – auch wenn es in der Konsequenz noch nicht sichtbar ist – in der schlimmsten, und zwar zu einem Großteil politisch verursachten Wirtschaftskrise seit Gründung der Bundesrepublik, weil Merkels Regierung im Sinne der Großen Transformation nachhaltig gearbeitet hat. Viele Parameter spielen dabei fatal zusammen: Verschuldungspolitik, Staatsfinanzierung, Nullzinspolitik, Inflation, Massenmigration, Energieverknappung und Energieunsicherheit, Abwanderung von Wirtschaft und von Fachkräften. Vielleicht besteht die härteste Kritik an Merkels Regierung darin, nicht einen Blick darauf zu werfen, wer in das Land kommt, sondern sich anzuschauen, wer das Land verlässt, nämlich hochausgebildete und leistungsfähige Fachkräfte. Sie stimmen mit den Füßen ab, seit Jahren – gegen Angela Merkel. Wer kann, verlässt Deutschland, dem letzten geht von ganz allein das Licht aus. ..."

China’s Test of Orbital Hypersonic Missile enhances its first strike capabilities
Recommendable! The Communist Party of China under Xi Jinping is becoming more aggressive and dangerous! China developed a new weapons category! This is serious stuff! This could be a game changer!
Military doctrines or strategies like mutually assured destruction (MAD) of the past Cold War that maintained peace during this period maybe obsolete!
"... China had combined two advanced missile technologies in a test of a new nuclear capability.
The test featured a so-called Fractional Orbital Bombardment System, which is launched into space and can orbit the globe before releasing a missile at its target. The Fractional Orbital Bombardment System was reportedly armed with a nuclear-capable hypersonic glide vehicle, which can fly at low altitudes and maneuver to its target once released from space. ...
If effectively operationalized, orbiting a nuclear weapon through space could enable China to release the weapon from anywhere around the globe, exploiting gaps in U.S. early warning systems. Once released, the hypersonic nuclear vehicle can fly at low altitudes at hypersonic speeds and maneuver through the atmosphere, avoiding U.S. space- and land-based radars—further reducing warning time. ...
However, systems able to avoid early-warning satellites and radars raise the prospect of a disarming surprise attack that cripples the nation’s ability to respond. This undermines the core of deterrence and, for this reason, such systems have been widely regarded as destabilizing. ...
While one test does not mean China is necessarily embracing a doctrine of nuclear preemption, the development of capabilities that might allow the mere contemplation of such an approach should be of great concern. ..."
a hypersonic orbital nuclear weapon would provide China with specific military advantages, particularly because it could avoid U.S. early warning systems.
While the U.S. can detect most large rocket and missile launches, it might not be able to track a Fractional Orbital Bombardment System throughout its orbit, or even determine if a Chinese orbital system is armed with a nuclear weapon.
This concept of assured nuclear retaliation is fundamental to deterrence.

Giant, free index to world’s research papers released online
All the accumulated science knowledge at your fingertips for everyone!
Unfortunately, much of today's research is still stored largely in separate silos e.g. by conference and journal. Too many research articles are still available only if you willing to pay a steep price as an individual not affiliated with an institution.
The new database contains only snippets from the research papers up to five consecutive words. This is probably not too helpful!
Service like Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, and Microsoft Academic make a difference and they make it easier, but it is still quite tedious to access research across authors, journals, conferences etc.
"... The catalogue, which was released on 7 October and is free to use, holds tables of more than 355 billion words and sentence fragments listed next to the articles in which they appear. It is an effort to help scientists use software to glean insights from published work even if they have no legal access to the underlying papers ...

The Evergrande crisis is spreading. Here are other Chinese property developers that are in default or wobbling
Are we seeing a real estate bubble blowing up in China? How will the Communist Party handle it? Will this be the end of the self anointed usurper, imperialist, and hegemon, the communist dictator for life Xi Jinping?
- China's Evergrande crisis is spreading to the rest of the property sector, with numerous companies defaulting.
- Fantasia, Sinic, and China Properties Group are among the other developers to have failed to meet payments.
- Economists worry that contagion in the property sector could knock out a key engine of Chinese growth.
India will soon roll out a DNA vaccine for the coronavirus
Good news! India, a technological giant awakens!
"... One kind of genetic technology that has been in the works for decades — DNA vaccines, which use engineered DNA to induce an immunologic response — is finally making its debut for widespread use in people this fall in India. ...
The Indian government authorized the ZyCoV-D vaccine in August. It’s one of about a dozen DNA vaccines that are in trials for COVID-19, though just a handful are in the final phases. India is expected to roll out ZyCoV-D this month, once officials have finished negotiating prices and working out other logistics. ...
Researchers at Zydus Cadilla, a company in western India, developed the vaccine that doesn’t need super-cold freezers. It comes in three doses. Instead of a needle, it uses a special fluid jet that punctures the skin with lab-produced DNA. The vaccine underwent a trial of nearly 30,000 people. It’s the only approved vaccine in India for children 12 and up."

Megyn Kelly: What is “Rapid-Onset Gender Dysphoria,” with Dr. Lisa Littman
What I found interesting was the reference to similarities between gender dysphoria and anorexia nervosa. A few decades ago, a significant number of teen age girls in Western countries were suffering from anorexia. It was then a widespread and severe concern. Teen manias are serious stuff! How much overdiagnosis is prevalent here?
Further, the guest also mentions that affected teenagers can be helped when they spend their summer break with other groups of teenagers and when they change schools to avoid peer pressure.

Recently bankrupt car rental company Hertz buys 100,000 Tesla cars
This news caused a buzz today and pushed the Tesla stock price over $1000! However, there is possibly an irony in this latest business deal! Given the fact that in recent months, the competition of Tesla is catching up how overvalued is Tesla, the now $1 trillion valued company?
Will this deal create more charging stations soon? At what discount were these 100,000 cars sold?
"... Those of you with long memories might recall that Hertz actually filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last year after the pandemic initial crushed demand for rental cars. As part of its bankruptcy plan, the company sold off a big part of its fleet at a discount. So now the company actually has a shortage of cars to rent as demand has expanded while new cars are scarce and used cars expensive.
So there's a kind of weird poetry to the fact that a purchase order from a recently bankrupt company could push Tesla above a $1 trillion market cap. ..."
Unvaccinated Patients Denied Care
This is a very serious matter!!! It goes to show how insane, absurd, and dictatorial the West has become regarding a relative harmless pandemic compared with plagues of the past!
These might be so far only a very few single and isolated cases. However, these cases clearly demonstrate the insanity and how far some are willing to go down the road to serfdom! An utter lack of common sense!
Had you asked me a few years ago whether I think such a scenario was possible, I would have vehemently denied it! Not anymore! Very appalling, very disturbing!
"...In October, the UCHealth health care system in Colorado denied a kidney transplant to an unvaccinated woman. Leilani Lutali, 56, was undergoing stage 5 renal failure and was in line to receive the transplant from donor Jaimee Fougner within months. Neither Lutali nor Fougner had received shots. A transplant or dialysis is usually necessary for survival for a patient with stage 5 renal failure. ..."
Breakthrough proof clears path for quantum AI
Good news! Just what we have been waiting for! Nothing barren to see here! 😄
From the abstract:
"Quantum neural networks (QNNs) have generated excitement around the possibility of efficiently analyzing quantum data. But this excitement has been tempered by the existence of exponentially vanishing gradients, known as barren plateau landscapes, for many QNN architectures. Recently, quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) have been proposed, involving a sequence of convolutional and pooling layers that reduce the number of qubits while preserving information about relevant data features. In this work, we rigorously analyze the gradient scaling for the parameters in the QCNN architecture. We find that the variance of the gradient vanishes no faster than polynomially, implying that QCNNs do not exhibit barren plateaus. This result provides an analytical guarantee for the trainability of randomly initialized QCNNs, which highlights QCNNs as being trainable under random initialization unlike many other QNN architectures. ..."
Zunehmender Realitätsverlust - Der neue Machbarkeitswahn
Wie der Klimawahn die Bananenrepublik Deutschland eingenommen und vernebelt hat! Das ist in der Tat sehr erschreckend und schockierend!
Die Mauer fiel und der Sozialismus eroberte ganz Deutschland. Die SED Kanzlerin Merkel sorgte nachhaltig dafür!
"Es ist noch gar nicht so lange her, da gehörte der Vorwurf des „Machbarkeitswahns“ zum Standardrepertoire moderner Gesellschaftskritik. Kirchenvertreter, alternative Linke und modernitätsskeptische Konservative warfen vor allem den westlichen Gesellschaften vor, einer verkürzten, rein technologischen Rationalität zu huldigen, die verhängnisvolle Auswirkungen auf Mensch, Natur und Gesellschaft habe. Der Machbarkeitswahn, so die bis in die 1980er-Jahre hinein einschlägige Diagnose, ist verantwortlich für Umweltzerstörung und eine zunehmend unwirtliche, verwaltete Gesellschaft.
Dann aber kamen der Fall der Mauer, die Digitalisierung und eine neue Dimension der Globalisierung. Die Karten schienen neu gemischt. Was vorher noch undenkbar war, wurde auf einmal Wirklichkeit. Das erste Kapitel einer schönen neuen Welt schien aufgeschlagen. Plötzlich war alles möglich. Der Vorwurf des Machbarkeitswahns kam aus der Mode. ..."
Single-molecule mechanical fingerprinting of DNA and peptides with DNA nanoswitch calipers
Amazing stuff!
"... Proteins are much more complex than DNA and RNA, and are often chemically modified, making the goal of easily identifying single proteins within a sample (single-molecule proteomics) challenging to achieve. ..."
From the abstract:
"Decoding the identity of biomolecules from trace samples is a longstanding goal in the field of biotechnology. Advances in DNA analysis have substantially affected clinical practice and basic research, but corresponding developments for proteins face challenges due to their relative complexity and our inability to amplify them. Despite progress in methods such as mass spectrometry and mass cytometry, single-molecule protein identification remains a highly challenging objective. Towards this end, we combine DNA nanotechnology with single-molecule force spectroscopy to create a mechanically reconfigurable DNA nanoswitch caliper capable of measuring multiple coordinates on single biomolecules with atomic resolution. Using optical tweezers, we demonstrate absolute distance measurements with ångström-level precision for both DNA and peptides, and using multiplexed magnetic tweezers, we demonstrate quantification of relative abundance in mixed samples. ..."

Israel Prime Minister Bennett: Putin is attentive to Israel’s security needs
Is it possible that Putin the Terrible, the former KGB officer, is becoming more wise and kind as he ages?" ..."
About two days ago, I watched Steve Turley on YouTube featuring a public speech (probably given in Russia) by Putin where he mocked Western preoccupation with the leftist ideologies of the day (wokeism, cancel culture etc.). I got the impression that Putin was trying to tell the Western countries you are making a big mistake here and that he is genuinely worried about it!
In my estimation, Israel is one of the major Western countries that is less affected by the insanity of leftist ideologies and deep societal divisions. The 46th President of the U.S. is obviously demented and senile, so Russia and Israel step up!
"Israel and Russia have reached good, stable agreements, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said ahead of Sunday’s cabinet meeting, hours after landing back in Israel from Sochi.
Bennett met with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday, and the prime minister said he found Putin to have “an attentive ear for Israel’s security needs.”
The leaders “talked about the situation in Syria, of course, since the Russians are our neighbors in the north to some extent.” ..."
Bennett, Putin discuss Iran, airstrikes in Syria in five-hour meeting Bennett's visit to Russia will carry on until after Shabbat, as his meeting with Putin was described as "warm and intimate."
This is a highly unusual photograph of a meeting of two world leaders from two different countries. Putin almost looks relaxed and glowing in the sunshine
Salt Lake City woman flew B-25 bombers in WWII — and got shot at over Texas
What a great story!
"Back in 1944, Nell Bright was trying to land a B-25 bomber. A member of the WASPs — Women Airforce Service Pilots — the Salt Lake City woman had flown the aircraft cross country to California.
“We wanted to land in Long Beach to gas up before going on to Mather Field in Sacramento,” said Bright, who’s now 100 years old. But the control tower at the Long Beach airport would not respond to her radio messages. Eventually, “they told us, ‘Get off the line! We’re trying to land a B-25.’ And I said, ‘We are the B-25.’
“We finally landed, and they got a surprise. Because at so many of the bases like that, they did not know there were women flying military aircraft.” ..."
Looks like the lady pilot is wearing sandals! 😊

People who carry a fetus
Are these the same people who breastfeed and nourish babies?
The new language of "people" or "birthing people" that is being promoted by and permeating the media, academia, popular science, and others is shocking and disturbing. Show me the transgendered female who is able to breastfeed a baby?
This kind of language is also very demeaning and insulting to women! It is pure misogyny! The wonders of nature and creation are laced with profanity! What a devoid and inhumane language!
P.S. Yesterday, I saw a young woman in a shopping mal openly breastfeeding (no cover, bare breast) her baby while dozens or more people passed by and barely noticed. It was a heartwarming iconic image.
Yesterday, I also saw an article in a popular science magazine that I regularly read using the word "people" when they referred to women. I was not happy!
As I pointed out in this blog before, it is quite possible that in 20-30 years from now women may not have to get pregnant anymore, because humanity has developed something like an artificial womb. But until then ...

Costco's own bagels not recommendable!
Not long ago Costco decided to replace Einstein bagels with their own bagels. It used to be a great offer by Costco, two bags of six bagels for a very decent price.
However, Einstein pre-sliced the bagels, Costco does not!
We like, in particular, the Everything bagels. The ingredients from Einstein are so much better than those by Costco (e.g. onions).
Worse, Costco bagel halves break apart either during slicing or after toasting! I just had such an accident happen to me. I was about to bite my half bagel when it fell apart into two pieces and dropped down. This did not exactly lighten up my Saturday morning!
Numerosity Around the Animal Kingdom
Amazing stuff! Nice overview article! It looks like more research is necessary!
"While some experiments try to test animals' perception of quantities in natural settings, others use training paradigms that offer experimenters more control over the conditions. All face the obstacle of distinguishing whether animals are reacting to numerosity or other perceptual features such as size, density, or mass, and it’s still an open question how widespread numerosity perception is. ..."
WV Governor wants special legislative session for three Maryland counties to join West Virginia
Will the map of the United States be redrawn given the ultra partisanship in politics?
Remember: The American Civil War was primarily not fought over slavery, but secession! America was founded on secession from the British empire.
"The lawmakers represent three counties that border West Virginia – Allegany, Garrett and Washington. Allegany and Garret are the two counties within the narrow strip of northwestern Maryland that extends between Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Part of Washington is also in that strip of land.
This week, the lawmakers sent letters to West Virginia House Speaker Roger Hanshaw, R-Clay and Senate President Craig Blair, R-Berkeley, requesting the state to add them as constituent counties of West Virginia. The letters said they believe the change would be beneficial to both states and requested to be advised on the next step. ..."
US says it killed a senior Al Qaeda leader by drone strike in Syria
I am not sure this was a smart move by the U.S. military! To kill or assassinate foreign terrorist leaders remotely is dangerous business. These type of strikes should be used sparingly and only with a well defined imminent purpose!
The statement released by the U.S. Central Command is very brief and generic. It does not accuse the man killed of any specific terrorist acts or anything!
Did the demented and senile 78 years old lifetime career politician and longtime habitual liar, the 46th President of the U.S. approve of this strike?

Phthalates could be stopping women from getting pregnant
Is this serious or scaremongering?
"For several years now, phthalates, dangerous chemicals found in various plastic and care products, have been marked as a possible cause of the general decline in fertility around the world. Now Israeli researchers have discovered that these chemicals are being absorbed into women's ovaries. What does this mean?
In recent years, there has been an alarming phenomenon of a significant decrease in fertility throughout the Western world, and about 15% of all women are unable to become pregnant without medical assistance.The reasons for this are varied, and include, among other things, exposure to a wide range of chemicals from various sources which disrupt the body’s natural hormonal activity. ...
A new and groundbreaking Israeli study found that one group of chemicals called phthalates, which are in so many plastics, cosmetics and other consumer products that it’s almost impossible to avoid them completely, are being stored in women’s ovaries. ...
Phthalates are considered endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), substances that mimic or inhibit the activity of various hormones in humans and thus disrupt normal hormonal activity, which impairs, among other things, the fertility of men and women. ...
They relied on samples collected from 105 women doing IVF at Sheba. The results weren’t encouraging: Of the 12 different types of phthalate metabolites tested, 11 were found in at least one sample. In the follicular fluid of 76% of the women, seven different types of phthalate metabolites were found simultaneously, and in five of the subjects, no less than 10 different phthalate metabolites were seen. ..."

Remember sic semper tyrannis!
The dictatorial powers assumed and wielded by so many Western democratically elected governments over and against their citizens in response to a fairly harmless pandemic compared to plagues of the past is shocking, very disturbing, and unprecedented since World War II!
