Dredd Blog: On The Origin Of A Genetic Constant

On The Origin Of A Genetic Constant

I. Background

Let's hitch a ride on the genetic 'wayback machine' provided by the 'grave digger story tellers' (We carry DNA from extinct cousins like Neanderthals. Science is now revealing their genetic legacy).

That story does not go very far back, nor is it very deep into us ... i.e. it doesn't go 'all the way to the bone', then on down deep into the atoms.

That is because (to them) atoms are like genes in that they must be explained via 'television' (teleology/teleonomy).

But the teleological explanation required is not only a difficulty, it is rendered improbable by the scientific discipline called "probability" (On The Origin of The Containment Entity - 15, On The Origin of Genieology).

That probability difficulty was first encountered during the Eugenics age of biology/genetics (The Eugenics Review Vols. 1 to 60; 1909 to 1968).

That probability difficulty was explored in a recent post where it was pointed out that the teleological lingo morphed into a hypothesis by eugenicists that atoms are 'brainy' (Small Brains Considered - 16).

So, this new Dredd Blog series will tie together several other Dredd Blog series and then take it from there on down to the ignored realm ... the atoms of genomes ("A genome is the complete set of genetic information in an organism. It provides all of the information the organism requires to function" - Nature).

II. Purpose of This Series

The academic subject of brain evolution is going to be exposed as being way behind other biological subjects in terms of actual provable scientific dogma (when it should have been developed first in the prebiological discipline "Abiology").

For starters let's remember that within the realm of biology and its branches, the advent of the atom in modern physics presented a challenge or threat to some of the existing hypotheses.

For example, eugenicists mused in worried terms at length about the developing quantum scientific realm (Small Brains Considered - 16).

They actually attributed genetics to the workings of the external quanta of the atom (electrons) to genetic qualities and quantities.

III. How Atoms In Genomes Are Researched

First, one must acquire some genetic resources (e.g. genomes from pigs to pineapples to butterflies).

The DNA used in this series has been extracted from the ".gz" files at the GenBank FTP site (there are millions of DNA sequences in those compressed ".gz" files).

In another previous post, how the genetic constant in those genomes was discovered was explained (On The Origin of The Containment Entity - 16).

The minor atomic particles (e.g. electrons, protons) were considered to be the major particles by Eugenicists, which is still an award winning position today with their same-as-the-Eugenicists viewpoint (Trio wins Nobel Prize in physics for split-second glimpse of superfast spinning world of electrons).

IV. Appendices RE: Atomic Construct of Genomes

From (Quantum Biology - 9): "Every carbon atom in the universe was created by stars" (ScienceDaily, emphasis added).

That means that at least one of the major components of our DNA was made in stars, but what about the other three major components (hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen)?

And how did they all get here on Earth, seeing as how it takes billions of years for the fast lane users (photons of starlight) to reach us (depending on our distance from a star).

Those carbon atoms made in ginormous stars (not the Sun) can't travel at the speed of light, so they use the slow lanes.

Same with the other atoms in our genomes.

How did the four atom types of the ~32/35/25/6 constant "get together and decide to become our everything" (On The Origin of Genieology)?

V. Lots of Data

But I digress.

Today's appendices adhere to the ~(32/35/25/6) constant quite closely.

Those appendices contain results of analysis of various genomes from pigs to pineapples to butterflies, grouped in 15 appendices (Appendix 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15).

The appendices contain these table numbers:

Appendix - tables

1 - 1-200
2 - 201-400
3 - 401-600
4 - 601-800
5 - 801-1000
6 - 1001-1200
7 - 1201-1400

12 -2201-2400
13 -2401-2600
14 -2601-2800
15 -2801-3000

Following 100 tables, each containing a genome atom count displayed in an HTML table, the totals of the atomic content are also displayed as HTML tables in those appendices (two totals tables in each appendix).

For a teaser, the 'tables of totals' in each appendix are as follows:

VI. Variations

The variations from the ~32/35/25/6 constant are for the most part less than 1%.

For example, a Totals Table in Appendix 1 has about 4 and a half billion atoms with one atom type (nitrogen) variation of about 1%, a Totals Table in Appendix 3 contains 2,841,589,702 (almost 3 billion) atoms, and one atom type in the group nitrogen, varies from the ~32/35/25/6 constant by only about 2%, and truth be told, considering all the Totals Tables, most variations are less than 1%.

The total atoms in today's group of 3000 tables is 26,073,392,267 (about 26 billion), so the small variations are to be expected because collecting DNA sequences is not without processing errors (e.g. Why a DNA Sample May Fail, cf. A practical guide to mitochondrial DNA error prevention in clinical, forensic, and population genetics).

Dredd Blog analyzes only the A,C,G,T nucleotides collected by scientists that have been placed into GenBank.

Some genomes in GenBank have 'N' to indicate a nucleotide position that is an unknown (not an A,C,G, or T) so that can have some impact on variation too (the HTML tables contain a 'Non-Nucleotide Count' when any of them are present).

And you are furnished an internet link to the GenBank data for each genome featured in these appendices.

VII. Closing Comments

Thus, asking ourselves "how did this ~(32/35/25/6) constant come to be?" is not a frivolous question, because scientific evidence is being used to research it.

In this series we will cover over a million genomes from the GenBank, so stay tuned.
