SCIENCE
One of my favorite subject. Specially genomics, molecular genetics, phylogenetic analysis, Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms.
I absolutely don't tolerate creationist and other "Middle Age" concepts... I am fueled by RICHARD DAWKINS. I am rather neodarwinist. I didn't used to prey Darwin's name. Theory of SELFISH GENE is a marvellous view of the real, possible situations in genomes... It is strictly described by Dawkins and it is brilliant in it's simplicity.
To understand his theories one should understand rights which are playing main rule in genomes. It is not so simple.
Richard Dawkins made "a storm in the glass". He popularise a theory which can be a theory of everything in the living world. We are only vehicles for our genes.
Evolution is a fact, but the ways of reaching the "last" (last means nowadays) state can be a theory.
Yes... This is very significant theory... Genes want us only for copying themselves. Dawkins used a lot of proofs from viruses, to higher animals to show, that we (our body) are simply and directly "side effect" of genes ability and NEED for coping. We are only the gene machines - produced by genes to make copies of them... And just imagine our bodies like giant factories copying information to another generation... Genes exists in a long period of time without any change in their sequence. They are using organisms to copy to another generation. So we are only vehicles for genes. Sometimes the mutation occurs in gene - and it could be eliminated or accepted by the natural selection. But the information flow is being kept since the beginning.
This is very important part of Dawkins' theory.. My (and other) analysis can only proof this thesis. Even in gene reach regions probability of recombination is low... Linkage Disequilibrium patterns (e.g. in human international HapMap Project datasets) can help to understand the selfish gene theory. Not only LD patterns can help. All studies on crossing over and genome of many kind of organisms can close us to solve the selfish gene mystery.
And it all started 150 years ago. When "The Origins of Life" was brought out. Charles Darwin turn upside down the view of life and our existence and rule of god.
Inspired in 2003 by prof. Barbara Kosowska and later by prof. Joanna Szyda, I've switched to Bioinformatics. It was very important. I've learnt a lot of interesting things. And I noticed that using PC to analyse biological data is very interesting and powerful.
Nowadays, without computers, it would be VERY difficult to analyse biological data such like nucleic acids and amino acid strains, protein folding, etc. That is why Bioinformatics is so important. It speeds up our knowledge about Genetics, Molecular Biology, etc.
One of my favourite subjects... Mitochondria, Nucleus.... pathways... this is very interesting. Cell-Cell interactions... Life inside the cell... nice... This is much more interesting than life in the rain forest :) For example: whole synthesis of amino acid strains... from DNA, than hnRNA, splicing, and than mRNA to amino acid strain, than folding, protein modifications and so on... Cell biology is like a secret world... We know a lot, but there is still much more to know. And this can be even much more incredible than these things we know nowadays.
I love biochemistry... I always did.. It is very important for Cell Biology, Genetics, Bioinformatics. Biochemistry can even improve our knowledge about Evolution.
almost done... :)
