Friday/Saturday's BIizzard

The link is to a "model tracker" which is a moving pictures/sound (multimedia) description of what might happen at the end of the week.

As usual people need to keep an eye on what the numerical models and other forecasts say as we get closer. People such as the BBC would never talk about such forecasts as they are so far in advance that they cannot be relied upon.

It is, however, a useful introduction to numerical forecasting if anyone is interested in that.

At the moment (and this is almost a week out) a lot of snow is being forecast for the UK.

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.
