I have finally overcome one of my biggest obstacles to evolution. The evolution of multi-cellular reproduction. Over the last few months, I have learned so much. But this is truly. mind blowing stuff. The results suggest that the ERV-9 LTR-initiated transcription process may modulate transcription of the associated gene loci in embryonic and hematopoietic cells. (1) Thus, at least in humans, the remnant viral DNA appears to be necessary for normal human development—without it, human life would be impossible. (2) Rey goes even further. He speculates that viruses may be responsible for the very existence of multicellular organisms. Viruses come and go between different cells, exchanging genetic information between them. This makes me think that viruses have contributed enormously to the communication between cells, and to the appearance of multicellular organisms on Earth, Rey says. (3) Looks like I am not the only one who thinks this.... I am getting closer to that nobel prize! So my focus now will be on the origins of viruses. Did they form from random RNA transcription? Or were they designed? Stay tuned! 1. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC153808/ 2. phys.org/news/2014-03-ancient-virus-dna-remnants-pluripotency.html 3. newscientist/article/mg22129583.300-origin-of-organs-thank-viruses-for-your-skin-and-bone.html#.VC8mVfldWHM
