RNA-Catalyzed Polymerization of Deoxyribose, Threose, and Arabinose Nucleic Acids

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, evolution, genetics

An RNA-dependent RNA polymerase ribozyme that was highly optimized through in vitro evolution for the ability to copy a broad range of template sequences exhibits promiscuity toward other nucleic acids and nucleic acid analogues, including DNA, threose nucleic acid (TNA), and arabinose nucleic acid (ANA). By operating on various RNA templates, the ribozyme catalyzes multiple successive additions of DNA, TNA, or ANA monomers, although with reduced efficiency compared to RNA monomers. The ribozyme can also copy DNA or TNA templates to complementary RNAs, and to a lesser extent it can operate when both the template and product strands are composed of DNA, TNA, or ANA. These results suggest that polymerase ribozymes, which are thought to have replicated RNA genomes during the early history of life, could have transferred RNA-based genetic information to and from DNA, enabling the emergence of DNA genomes prior to the emergence of proteins. In addition, genetic systems based on nucleic acid-like molecules, which have been proposed as precursors or contemporaries of RNA-based life, could have been operated upon by a promiscuous polymerase ribozyme, thus enabling the evolutionary transition between early genetic systems.

Synthetic genetic polymers capable of heredity and evolution

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, evolution, genetics

Genetic information storage and processing rely on just two polymers, DNA and RNA, yet whether their role reflects evolutionary history or fundamental functional constraints is currently unknown. With the use of polymerase evolution and design, we show that genetic information can be stored in and recovered from six alternative genetic polymers based on simple nucleic acid architectures not found in nature [xeno-nucleic acids (XNAs)]. We also select XNA aptamers, which bind their targets with high affinity and specificity, demonstrating that beyond heredity, specific XNAs have the capacity for Darwinian evolution and folding into defined structures. Thus, heredity and evolution, two hallmarks of life, are not limited to DNA and RNA but are likely to be emergent properties of polymers capable of information storage.

TERRIFYING! Female Robot Too Smart to Only Satisfy Men | Artificial Intelligence News

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, sex

Female robots are a technological marvel, and many of us could not even tell the difference between a real woman and a female robot. Have you seen female robots such as Harmony and Erica? You cannot spot a distinction to tell that they are robots. But are they created just to satisfy the needs of men?

Have you ever thought of a civilization where human robots rule? Such a situation is not very far away if the current AI trends continue. Experts are expecting such a dramatic change within the mid-2030s. Today we will discuss the scary situation when robots act smarter than humans. An apt movie showing this situation is the 2014 award-winning science fiction movie Ex Machina where the robots become more competent and, in the end, dangerous.

Why Women Are Afraid of The Rise of Sexbots

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, sex

This video gets into two significant reasons why women dread the rise of sexbots. Sex robots are a mystique and a new innovation that will revolutionize how we consider sexual dynamics. Due to today’s gender war and rise of sexless men AI technologies are now hitting the market with a boom. While still overpriced an uncommon here in the U.S the artificial intelligence technogies are sure to make your experience more lifelike.

Incoming hoverboat, morning transport to work at SpaceX

Posted by in category: space travel

This is pretty cool, I just learned from our Felix Schlang that SpaceX operates a hovercraft, kinda of like the hovercraft that Luke used in the original Star Wars movie.

SpaceX is using this to get between two locations that are about an hour apart by road, but only 15 minutes apart via sea. A hovercraft hovers over land or water and is ideal for this purpose.
