Twinkle and Beauty

There has been a bit more interest in Twinkle and his missing sister. Here is a photograph of them both.

In terms of various questions about the kitten(s)

a) They were named by my daughter (age 4) - they are her cats.
b) They are due to be chipped, but are not yet.
c) They are now about 6 months old.

I would like to thank those who have replicated the photos of Beauty for their support of the attempts to find Beauty. That even includes Andy Howell who has set up a twitter account and a facebook page even if it is a bit tongue in cheek.

For those who don't know Andy Howell used to be Deputy Leader of the Birmingham Labour Party.

However, the Labour Party in Birmingham have been quite helpful within the context of trying to find Beauty.

Your wife who claims to be an animal lover dumps a kitten in the wild to die a lousy death of dehydration and starvation and then suggests the fix is to buy a kitten to replace it?

I just don't understand you people.

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.
