So far so good

I am one of the people who welcomes Ming Campbell's aim to have more professionalism in the way in which the Lib Dems operate.

That, however, does not mean that I support the suggestions of requiring lone parents of children aged 11 to get jobs.

I was also uncomfortable with the proposals on the Royal Mail. We need to have an effective policy on how to maintain the network of sub-Post Offices and there was 95% agreement as to much of the resolution passed. There did, however, remain a 5% disagreement. The agreement relates to the outcomes, the disagreement relates to the process. However, this disagreement is not as great as that relating to requiring lone parents of children aged 11+ to work.

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.
