RNA World Hypothesis

How do you derive a human? It is a big question, but a fundamental principal of biology can assist us in finding a potential answer to how biology has advanced to far - that we exist. 

To continue to the existence of a species, passing of genetic information from parent to offspring must occur. This process is known as meiosis and requires genetic replication to take place.

Replication must take place. 

Interestingly prydamine (nucleotides incorporate prydamine  in their structure) and nucleotides adenine, guanine and thymine have been found on meteorites and supports the hypothesis of panspermia.

RNA has been shown to have the ability to self-replicate.

NKX2-5 Gene Overview

Image
NKX2-5 Gene Overview In mammalian cells the gene NKX2-5 is found on chromosome 5, more specifically on the long (q) arm of chromosome 5 at position 35.1. (Cytogenetic Location: 5q35.1) Cytogenetic Location: 5q35.1 Transcription of the homeobox NKX2-5 gene into RNA and consequential translation, synthesizes a homeodomain protein. Homeodomain proteins regulate gene expression and cell differentiation during early embryonic development, thus mutations in homeobox genes can cause developmental disorders. The NKX2-5 protein is known as: " Homeobox protein NKX2-5 " and is essential for cardiac development. In the fetal development of mice, disruption of NKX2-5 has proven to be lethal. NKX2-5 is ~3,213 nucleotide bases long and is involved in biological processes that give an organism its shape. Disruption of NKX2-5 has proven to cause abnormal heart shape. Cardiac expression of NKX2-5 continues throughout development and into adult life. References: Myogenic and

CRISPR in the clinic

CRISPR-Cas9 is a genetic tool that can perform molecular surgery on the DNA of a cell. Fundamentally altering the code of life allows scientists to insert and remove genes. For the first time in a milestone study, CRISPR-Cas9 has been implemented in a clinical setting to alleviate blindness in an untreatable genetic condition known as Leber’s congenital amaurosis. A single participant with Leber’s congenital amaurosis 10 (LCA10), has been administration CRISPR-Cas9 through injection into the eye near photo-receptor cells (which detect light and color).  If successful it may reverse the disease by removing a single mutation in the DNA - allowing sight. This form of treatment is considered safe since CRISPR-Cas9 stays locally in the eye, and therefore should not travel to other sites of the body. The estimated time-frame is a month before vision is restored. Success of this trial may result in 18 more patients commencing with treatment in the next trial phase. Mark

Knock-out, knock-down and knock-sideways

In genetics and molecular biology there are differences between the terms knock-out, knock-down and (the lesser known term) knock-sideways. Knock-sideways : Inactivates proteins. Could be done using small molecule inhibitors. Knock-out : Gene removal, no gene expression. Could be done using CRISPR. Knock-down : Gene expression is reduced. Could be done using  interference RNA . (Another reference for Knock-sideways: "Importantly, the rapidity of the “knock-sideways” system allowed the researchers to observe a phenotype distinct from siRNA-mediated knockdown of the same protein..." )
