On The Origin Of A Genetic Constant - 11

Fig. 1 Some Graphic Details

Today's appendices are based on lists of organisms by their 'scientific' names.

You know, obscure Latin.

But that is just the way it is and likely going to stay like that.

I added a graph that shows the variation percents and placed the data in alphabetical order hoping that would help readers to zero in on particular organisms by the first letter in the organism names or by the degree of variation from the ≈(32/35/25/6) genetic constant. 

I also named the appendices in accord with the graph (Appendix A, Appendix BCD, Appendix EFGH, Appendix IJKL, Appendix M, Appendix NO, Appendix P, Appendix QRS, Appendix TUVWXYZ).

The letters in the appendix names are the first letter of an organism's name, bunched together based on the number of genomes in each appendix.

For example appendix 'A' contains only genome data of organisms with names that begin with 'A', appendix 'BCD' contains contains only genome data of organisms with names that begin with 'B', 'C', or 'D', and so forth.

Likewise, 'BCD' and 'QRS' have some genomes with low variation values.

Each appendix is a 'Section' shown on the graphs in Fig. 1.

The graphs can be used to give readers a clue as to which appendix to examine.

For example if you want to look at genomes that have a higher percentage of variation, notice on the top-right graph that Appendix 'NO' contains data with the highest variation level (note that the variation percent value is the average of the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen atom variations).

Once again I am reminded that most of the variations are less than 1%, which means that our genomes are really really similar to worms, birds, cows, and people:

Video Index (time - subject)

00:21 - microbes are oldest life forms on Earth
01:03 - 10 times more microbes than human cells in us
01:31 - 100 times more microbial genes than human genes in us
02:00 - microbes are 99% of our make-up; they keep us alive
02:20 - microbes are vital for keeping us alive and healthy
04:20 - microbes talk with a molecular language
07:50 - quorum sensing (like a census) to know population count
08:20 - Intra species communication (shape of words) dialects
10:50 - microbes communicate with other microbes (multi-lingual)
11:20 - they take a census of all other microbes around them
12:30 - synthetic molecules-words interrupt communication
13:50 - synthetic molecules-words confuse the microbes
15:00 - they have collective, community behaviors
15:20 - microbes made the rules for multi-cellular development
16:00 - microbes invented multi-cellular behavior inside us
17:15 - the team
