Steve Ajao Benefit at the Prince

Last night I went to one of the Steve Ajao benefit gigs. Steve is a local musician who was in a road accident recently. There was a really massive turnout in the back yard of the Prince of Wales Pub (on Alcester Road).

Steve used to play a regular gig at the Moseley Arms in Highgate. I am hoping to play a number at one of the other benefit gigs myself. I did turn up to do a number at the Moseley Arms once.

I know there were a lot of people there, and I expected you to show up, but we must have been ships that pass in the night.

I arrived about 9.15pm (having returned from Edinburgh earlier).

Its the long genes that stop working

People who read my blog will be aware that I have for some time argued that most (if not all) diseases of aging are caused by cells not being able to produce enough of the right proteins. What happens is that certain genes stop functioning because of a metabolic imbalance. I was, however, mystified as to why it was always particular genes that stopped working. Recently, however, there have been three papers produced: Aging is associated with a systemic length-associated transcriptome imbalance Age- or lifestyle-induced accumulation of genotoxicity is associated with a generalized shutdown of long gene transcription and Gene Size Matters: An Analysis of Gene Length in the Human Genome From these it is obvious to see that the genes that stop working are the longer ones. To me it is therefore obvious that if there is a shortage of nuclear Acetyl-CoA then it would mean that the probability of longer Genes being transcribed would be reduced to a greater extent than shorter ones.
