Parliamentary Email Disappears

I have just found that there is a spam filter on the @parliament.uk domain. This squirrels away emails it thinks are spam. Of course not all of them are spam.

Furthermore it doesn't tell the sender that it has trapped spam. What this means is that the @parliament.uk account is actually quite a dangerous one to use. There is absolutely no certainty that email gets to people.

Sadly, therefore, I cannot encourage people to use @parliament.uk. I don't have the time to check the spam filter all the time (particularly as I have my own one which works in a proper manner.)

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.
