New science of the organism - genetics

Intercommunication via Circulating Nucleic Acids
DNA and RNA circulating in the bloodstream are offering golden opportunities for disease diagnosis and may play an important role in intercommunication between cells
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 20th April 2009

Darwin’s Pangenesis, the Hidden History of Genetics, & the Dangers of GMOs
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho uncovers a fascinating page in the history of genetics expurgated from the mainstream account that also tells us why genetic modification is so dangerous
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 15th April 2009

Epigenetic Inheritance through Sperm Cells, the Lamarckian Dimension in Evolution
Dimension in Evolution New findings on the molecular mechanisms whereby epigenetic changes acquired during development can be transmitted to the next generation via sperm cells are vindicating Lamarck’s theory of evolution that had been completely eclipsed by Darwin’s followers for over a century
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 23rd March 2009

Rewriting the Genetic Text in Human Brain Development
How adaptive epigenetic changes that can rewrite genes contribute to human brain development and evolution
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 28th January 2009

Epigenetic Toxicology
Environmental toxins can modify our genes and affect our children and grandchildren; enormous implications for risk assessment of synthetic chemical and other xenobiotics
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 21st January 2009

From Genomics to Epigenomics
Decades of sequencing and dissecting the human genome have confirmed that the real causes of ill health are environmental and social. It is not the genetic messages encoded in genomic DNA but environmentally-induced epigenetic modifications that overwhelmingly determine people’s health and well-being
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 19th January 2009

Caring Mothers Strike Fatal Blow against Genetic Determinism
New research on maternal care puts the environment and epigenetic potential at centre stage of how organisms shape their lives and the lives of their offspring
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 14th January 2009

Epigenetic Inheritance - What Genes Remember
Epigenetic inheritance of acquired characters more powerful than inheritance of genes. The experience of one generation can modify genes passed on to the next via a variety of mechanisms that blur the distinction between epigenetic and genetic
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 12th January 2009
