Another extremely important article about the feed-back control loops in the genome, and the finding of an orchestrating gene the helps control the whole process. This is the type of complexity I predicted in my S vs. R book would be found, and would demand that a God-controlled evolution is the only reasonable conclusion, if one accepts evolution as having occurred: -http://darwins-god.blogspot.com/2015/05/nfgfr1-protein-that-regulates-regulators.html-"This week new research out of SUNY Buffalo continues to make this story even more devastating for evolution. The research involves a gene, containing 24 exons, that codes for a special protein known as the nuclear Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-1, or nFGFR1.-"The nFGFR1 protein plays an important gene regulation role during embryonic development. In this role, nFGFR1 does not regulate the production of proteins that do something in the cell, such as synthesizing a chemical or metabolizing food. Instead, nFGFR1 regulates the regulatory proteins.-"In other words, the nFGFR1 protein represents a higher level of gene regulation. The expression of genes is influenced by regulatory proteins, and the expression of the regulatory proteins is influenced by yet other proteins, such as nFGFR1. This is yet another unequivocal refutation of evolutionary theory."-***
"We've known that the human body has almost 30,000 genes that must be controlled by thousands of transcription factors that bind to those genes, yet we didn't understand how the activities of genes were coordinated so that they properly develop into an organism.-"Now we think we have discovered what may be the most important player, which organizes this cacophony of genes into a symphony of biological development with logical pathways and circuits.-"We found that this protein works as a kind of ‘orchestration factor,' preferably targeting certain gene promoters and enhancers. The idea that a single protein could bind thousands of genes and then organize them into a hierarchy, that was unknown. Nobody predicted it."-Nobody except those who were thinking past the Darwinian block to rational thought about the process of evolution.-http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/05/150508110526.htm-"One of developmental biology's most perplexing questions concerns what signals transform masses of undifferentiated cells into tremendously complex organisms, a process called ontogeny.-"New research by University at Buffalo scientists, published in PLOS ONE, provides evidence that it all begins with a single "master" growth factor receptor that regulates the entire genome."
