Light and life at base pair resolution (2)

The correct way to think about senescence is that it’s an evolutionary balancing act.

No. Light-activated microRNA biogenesis is required to prevent the virus driven degradation of messenger RNA, which causes all disease.
Neo-Darwinian theorists and Big Bang cosmologists have lost the ability to continue to confuse the masses. The confusion caused all the unnecessary suffering and premature death.

Synopsis
Viruses are ubiquitous in the environment, from oceans to soils, and microbiomes associated with animals and humans. The vast majority of viruses infect bacteria, archaea, protozoa, and other microscopic organisms. For decades, the study of virus-microbe interactions has focused predominantly on infections in which the release of new viruses results in the death of the microbial host cell. Yet recent evidence from experimental model systems, modern viromics, and new theoretical advances suggest that virus-microbe interactions are often more nuanced. This symposium will directly confront the shifting and nebulous boundaries between viruses and microbes. Speakers will provide insights into how viruses reshape cell states in a way that could potentially benefit both virus and cell. These insights will be drawn from molecular and cellular evidence provided by experiments with viruses, microbes, virocells, and complemented by analysis of large scale datasets. The symposium will challenge long-held notions of viral fitness by introducing a new theoretical framework to measure the relative success of viral strategies across a continuum from lysis to latency. Through an exploration of theory, informatics, and experimental model systems, the three talks and panel discussion will generate transformative insights into the entangled fates of viruses and microbes.

Pseudoscientists typically fail to examine the details of new revelations, especially the revelations about viruses.
For example, see: Evolutionary resurrection of flagellar motility via rewiring of the nitrogen regulation system (2015) and System-wide Rewiring Underlies Behavioral Differences in Predatory and Bacterial-Feeding Nematodes (2013)
The morphology and behavior of the nematodes changed with their diet. A difference in the bacteria that nematodes eat led to ecological adaptations in mouth parts and predatory behavior that biologically uninformed theorists claim evolved across ~200 million years. In the context of what is known to serious scientists about epigenetic effects on nematodes, Neo-Darwinian Evolutionists appear to exemplify human idiocy or insanity.
