Mitochondrial Eve -- a good fit for the real Eve

CMIcreationstation^{📤 5 years ago 2013-06-04}

Many people scoff at the idea that all humans descended from a woman called Eve only thousands of years ago. But geneticists actually endorse a similar idea, known as mitochondrial Eve.

By studying the DNA in cell parts known as mitochondria, scientists propose that all humans descended from a single woman that lived 200,000 years ago.

But this date relies on evolutionary assumptions, chief of which is the idea chimpanzees and humans shared a common ancestor 6 million years ago.

However, actual research has shown that mitochondrial DNA mutates much faster than this evolutionary estimate, and this drastically reduces mitochondrial Eve's age. This would mean that mitochondrial Eve—as a review in the prestigious journal Science said: 'lived about 6500 years ago—a figure clearly incompatible with current theories on human origins.'

But it is compatible with the Bible's history.

But even the smartest people on earth have no idea where to draw the line between living and dead things. Which leads to mind-blowing implications. What is life after all? And is death really a thing? Lets look into it together

Our mtDNA ancestor

Melissa Wilson Sayres^{📤 5 years ago 2013-08-08}

mtDNA is our mitochondrial DNA. mtDNA is a circular piece of DNA. It is passed only through the egg (not sperm). So, it can be used to trace back through the genetic female lineage.

Here is a description of how that works.

Evolution The Evolution of Shape HD documentary
Evolution is the change in the inherited characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organisation, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins.[1]
All life on Earth is descended from a last universal ancestor that lived approximately 3.8 billion years ago. Repeated speciation and the divergence of life can be inferred from shared sets of biochemical and morphological traits, or by shared DNA sequences.[2] These homologous traits and sequences are more similar among species that share a more recent common ancestor, and can be used to reconstruct evolutionary histories, using both existing species and the fossil record. Existing patterns of biodiversity have been shaped both by speciation and by extinction.[3]
Charles Darwin was the first to formulate a scientific argument for the theory of evolution by means of natural selection. Evolution by natural selection is a process inferred from three facts about populations: 1) more offspring are produced than can possibly survive, 2) traits vary among individuals, leading to different rates of survival and reproduction, and 3) trait differences are heritable.[4] Thus, when members of a population die they are replaced by the progeny of parents better adapted to survive and reproduce in the environment in which natural selection takes place. This process creates and preserves traits that are seemingly fitted for the functional roles they perform.[5] Natural selection is the only known cause of adaptation, but not the only known cause of evolution. Other, nonadaptive causes of evolution include mutation and genetic drift.[6]
In the early 20th century, genetics was integrated with Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection through the discipline of population genetics. The importance of natural selection as a cause of evolution was accepted into other branches of biology. Moreover, previously held notions about evolution, such as orthogenesis and "progress" became obsolete.[7] Scientists continue to study various aspects of evolution by forming and testing hypotheses, constructing scientific theories, using observational data, and performing experiments in both the field and the laboratory. Biologists agree that descent with modification is one of the most reliably established facts in science.[8] Discoveries in evolutionary biology have made a significant impact not just within the traditional branches of biology, but also in other academic disciplines (e.g., anthropology and psychology) and on society at large.[9][10]

Neanderthal Man looks like you and me

CMIcreationstation^{📤 5 years ago 2013-03-07}

Every time I hear of Neandertal man, I cannot help but feel sorry for the poor guy. Initially reconstructed to look like some apish brute, it took 44 years before a reanalysis of the fossils revealed that Neandertal man's anatomy was very similar to yours and mine.

Neandertals buried their dead—which isn't the sort of behaviour you'd expect from an animal. What's more, discoveries of ornaments, tools and stone-tipped spears reveal a high level of sophistication. Neandertals made their own superglue from pitch and flute-like structures found with their remains suggest they enjoyed music.

But what did Neandertal man really look like? In recent years researchers have answered this question by using computerised reconstructions, commonly used in forensic science. These studies show that Neandertal Man looked remarkably similar to you and me. If he was dressed in a suit and walked past you in the street, you probably would not notice him.

Here's an animated video on the basics of DNA, genes, and heredity.

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Nearly every cell in a person's body has the same DNA. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Here is an animated video on the basics of DNA, genes, and heredity.

Mitochondrail DNA: Prometheus' Gift or Pandora's Box?

nihvcast^{📤 6 years ago 2012-03-22}

Air date: Wednesday, March 21, 2012, 3:00:00 PM

Category: Wednesday Afternoon Lectures

Description: The Greek myth of the giant Prometheus stealing fire from the Olympian gods and giving it to humans, and the gods' "Trojan horse" gift to Prometheus of the beautiful but incorrigibly curious Pandora neatly symbolizes the symbiotic origin of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and its role in human health and pathology (including aging).

I will review our relatively recent awareness of mtDNA and our even more recent discovery of its important role in human pathology. The first two pathogenic mutations in mtDNA were reported in 1988: 24 years later, over 200 point mutations and innumerable deletions have been associated with an extraordinary variety of human disorders, most of them multisystemic ("mitochondrial encephalomyopathies") but some tissue-specific (for example, mitochondrial myopathies). After a brief reminder of the unique rules of mitochondrial genetics, I will propose a genetic classification of the mitochondrial disorders and provide examples of different mtDNA-related diseases. As a myologist by training, I feel obliged to stress the importance of the muscle biopsy in our diagnostic approach to mitochondrial diseases. As mtDNA mutations are so common, it is important to recognize which are pathogenic and which are neutral polymorphisms. I will, therefore, review and provide examples of the "canonical" criteria of mtDNA pathogenicity, including heteroplasmy, single fiber PCR, and the cybrid technology.

In 2000, I wrote a review titled "Mutations in mtDNA: are we scraping the bottom of the barrel?" (Brain Pathology 2000:10:431-441). I will proceed to show that we are far from scratching the bottom of the barrel. We are still debating the frequency of mtDNA-related disorders; novel mutations or novel clinical phenotypes are still being reported at a brisk pace; the role of homoplasmic pathogenic mutations is not yet fully understood; similarly, the modulating role of mtDNA haplotypes is still being described; and -- importantly -- the pathogenic mechanism of mtDNA mutations is not yet understood (in other words, we still do not understand why MELAS differs from MERRF when both syndromes are due to mutations in mtDNA tRNA genes). It has been aptly said that mtDNA is the slave of nuclear DNA (nDNA), in that, in the course of the millennia, mtDNA has lost most of its original autonomy and now depends heavily on nuclear DNA for its basic functions, including replication and maintenance. Thus, besides disorders (reviewed above) due to "primary" mtDNA mutations, there are many disorders due to mutations in nuclear genes controlling mtDNA replication (mtDNA depletion syndromes), mtDNA maintenance (multiple mtDNA deletions syndromes) or mtDNA translation. These "indirect hits" (defects of intergenomic communication) are transmitted as mendelian traits but have genetic features that overlap with mitochondrial genetics. Thanks to new generation mitoexome sequencing, the neat subdivision between mtDNA depletion and multiple mtDNA syndromes is crumbling, as mutations in the same genes (usually involved with the homeostasis of the mitochondrial nucleotide pool) can impair either mtDNA replication or maintenance (or both).

In a provocative article, the late Anita Harding wondered whether normal aging wasn't the most common mitochondrial disease of them all. There is considerable evidence that this is true and largely due to spontaneous accumulations of mtDNA deletions in postmitotic tissues.

Finally, although I don't have the time to review therapeutic strategies, I will consider a potentially preventive approach to mtDNA-related diseases, namely cytoplasmic transfer. Although successful in primates and 2in preliminary experiments with defective human oocytes, this therapeutic modality requires careful ethical screening.

Death Throes -- Dinosaur fossil posture suggests asphyxiation

CMIcreationstation^{📤 5 years ago 2013-02-11}

Dinosaur fossils are often found in an unusual posture, characterized by their head thrown back, hind-limbs bent and tails extended. Over the years scientists have proposed different theories to explain this puzzling phenomenon.

However, according to paleontologist Cynthia Marshal Foe, there is only one legitimate explanation, which is that the dinosaurs died of asphyxiation. It is well know that animals, starved of oxygen when the die, can go into this characteristic posture due to muscle spasms.

This new understanding of dinosaur fossilization fits well with the Bible's history, where many dinosaurs were rapidly buried in sediment during the global flood. Starved of oxygen, many assumed this unique affixation posture.

So the Biblical flood provides a simple solution to a long held dinosaur mystery.

Neandertal genome confirms they were human

CMIcreationstation^{📤 1 year ago 2016-11-03}

Ever since the discovery of the first Neandertal remains in 1856, scientists have debated how to classify these mysterious, quite human-like creatures. Until recently, many evolutionists were confident that Neandertals were not fully human and they regarded them as a sub-human species called Homo neanderthalensis.
However, recent genetic research shows that modern humans and Neandertals interbred, suggesting that Neandertals and people living today should be classified as the same species.
After sequencing the Neandertal genome, the world's leading authority on 'ancient' DNA, Svante Paäbo, concluded:
"Many would say that a species is a group of organisms that can produce fertile offspring with each other and cannot do so with members of other groups. From that perspective we had shown that Neandertals and modern humans were the same species."
Neandertals were humans, not ape-men, contrary to 150 years of story-telling. To find out more from Creation Ministries International visit our website Creation.com

Mitochondrial DNA inheritance pattern

Shomu's Biology^{📤 5 years ago 2012-12-25}

Mitochondrial DNA inheritance pattern - lecture explains about cytoplasmic inheritance or maternal inheritance pattern.

Download the study materials here-

In most multicellular organisms, mtDNA is inherited from the mother (maternally inherited). Mechanisms for this include simple dilution (an egg contains 100,000 to 1,000,000 mtDNA molecules, whereas a sperm contains only 100 to 1000), degradation of sperm mtDNA in the fertilized egg, and, at least in a few organisms, failure of sperm mtDNA to enter the egg. Whatever the mechanism, this single parent (uniparental) pattern of mtDNA inheritance is found in most animals, most plants and in fungi as well.
Female inheritance

In sexual reproduction, mitochondria are normally inherited exclusively from the mother. The mitochondria in mammalian sperm are usually destroyed by the egg cell after fertilization. Also, most mitochondria are present at the base of the sperm's tail, which is used for propelling the sperm cells. Sometimes the tail is lost during fertilization. In 1999 it was reported that paternal sperm mitochondria (containing mtDNA) are marked with ubiquitin to select them for later destruction inside the embryo.[5] Some in vitro fertilization techniques, particularly injecting a sperm into an oocyte, may interfere with this.

The fact that mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited enables researchers to trace maternal lineage far back in time. (Y-chromosomal DNA, paternally inherited, is used in an analogous way to trace the agnate lineage.) This is accomplished on human mitochondrial DNA by sequencing one or more of the hypervariable control regions (HVR1 or HVR2) of the mitochondrial DNA, as with a genealogical DNA test. HVR1 consists of about 440 base pairs. These 440 base pairs are then compared to the control regions of other individuals (either specific people or subjects in a database) to determine maternal lineage. Most often, the comparison is made to the revised Cambridge Reference Sequence. Vilà et al. have published studies tracing the matrilineal descent of domestic dogs to wolves.[6] The concept of the Mitochondrial Eve is based on the same type of analysis, attempting to discover the origin of humanity by tracking the lineage back in time.

Because mtDNA is not highly conserved and has a rapid mutation rate, it is useful for studying the evolutionary relationships - phylogeny - of organisms. Biologists can determine and then compare mtDNA sequences among different species and use the comparisons to build an evolutionary tree for the species examined.

Because mtDNA is transmitted from mother to child (both male and female), it can be a useful tool in genealogical research into a person's maternal line.
Male inheritance
Main article: Paternal mtDNA transmission

It has been reported that mitochondria can occasionally be inherited from the father in some species such as mussels.[7][8] Paternally inherited mitochondria have additionally been reported in some insects such as fruit flies,[9] honeybees,[10] and periodical cicadas.[11]

Evidence supports rare instances of male mitochondrial inheritance in some mammals as well. Specifically, documented occurrences exist for mice,[12][13] where the male-inherited mitochondria was subsequently rejected. It has also been found in sheep,[14] and in cloned cattle.[15] It has been found in a single case in a human male.[16]

While many of these cases involve cloned embryos or subsequent rejection of the paternal mitochondria, others document in vivo inheritance and persistence under lab conditions.
