A couple of thoughts. A full and complete examination of the virus' RNA chain is exhaustive. A 30K base transcriptome offers a vast number of post-translation possibilities, in accord with host cell interactions. It's one thing to count bases or discover and illuminate the function of...

I heard somewhere that gargling and spitting out an aspirin tablet daily inhibits respiratory infection. No proof of that, or studies I can find, but it's lore and generally as harmless as a daily dram.

Yes. Actually, these are sought in bodily fluid samples in the course of performing a liquid biopsy. Also sought are extracellular DNA and stray parts of the chondriome. They suggest cellular destruction and may carry markers of disease such as infection or metastasis.

Noting there are many reports of Covid 19 disease occurrence, You may find this an interesting resource:Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins CSSE https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6

I'm finding little about adaptive immunity, vis a vis Covid 19. Despite much speculation that the virus will become endemic and join the H#N# varieties, or even become ubiquitous like the adenovirus family, there is scant data about colonization or re-infection of previously cleared or...

There's so little to be gained by doing what the Chinese team did, I wonder if those embryos were planted in the womb of an HIV+ woman. That, fundamentally, makes sense beyond a "proof of concept" or benign genomic alteration.

Einstein's elucidation of the quantum spacing of electrons and photons emitted from changes in the quantum spacing of electrons in atomic orbitals, vis a vis the emission and absorption spectra of photons, offers a clue why certain elements or compounds emit light in the 590nm range (that...

Hello Jose Epigenetic marks (pulling a definition) are features not directly governed by the genetic code, which include methylation of DNA and covalent modification of histone proteins. The latter may also be tagged with methyl, acetyl, ubiquitin, phosphate, poly(ADP)ribose and other...

If you want something to dwell on, to perhaps guide your search of cell types, here's this. Cell types arise from differentiation of DNA expression, i.e., naked DNA acquires epigene markers that irreversibly direct the expression of DNA along different paths required by different cells. As...

Maths are a high frequency, low intensity aspect of life. They can be tedious more than onerous or ponderous. I'm no maths whiz, but by tackling small challenges at a time I've acquired a better understanding of their fundamentals and have by so doing enriched my appreciation of what you...

As an atom of air (more energetic, i.e., warmer than its neighbors) rises it gives up energy as heat and over time stabilizes at an dynamic equilibrium. Atomic vibration is in and of itself not a qualification for motion in any particular direction, inasmuch as "rebounding" from more...

The half-integer is by itself characteristic of a link, and I assume you've made reference to the abelian U. On the whole, what you've stated is quite reasonable insofar as to describe it as "two disconnected surfaces". It's a bit over my head, so sorry if I can't break it down further.

I sat in silence all day, give me a break Your job is to cover some kind of mistake I've broken no law Offended no one who saw So pull your strings and get me out of this jail

My handwriting has suffered in recent years due to progress noting and wider use of typing. Some time ago I switched to writing in script rather than cursive, that helped. For demonstrations, slow down; you should have no "get to the punctuation" emergencies. On the other matter, diagrams: bring...
