Retroposons and AI are excellent tools for medical work and genetic mapping.

   Retroposons and AI are excellent tools for medical work and genetic mapping. 


The AI works with genetics and medicals. 


The AI, or "co-scientist" is the ultimate tool for medical research. But the same AI can make many other things like finding certain DNA sequences. The AI can search billions of DNA samples finding anomalies. And then the AI can search the medical data of people.

Who has certain anomalies in the DNA? There is also the possibility that the mice have certain DNA sequences that act similarly to human DNA. So if the system injects manipulated DNA where is that anomaly in the mice, that can tell how the genome models behavior of the mice. 

Retroposons and retrotransposons are a little bit different things.  "Retrotransposons (also called Class I transposable elements or transposons via RNA intermediates) are a type of genetic component that copy and paste themselves into different genomic locations (transposon) by converting RNA back into DNA through the reverse transcription process using an RNA transposition intermediate." (Wikipedia/Retrotransposon)

"In contrast to retrotransposons, retroposons never encode reverse transcriptase (RT). Therefore, they are non-autonomous elements with regard to transposition activity (as opposed to transposons). " (Wikipedia/Retroposon)

"Non-long terminal repeat (LTR) retrotransposons such as the human LINE1 elements are sometimes falsely referred to as retroposons. However, this depends on the author. For example, Howard Temin published the following definition: Retroposons encode RT but are devoid of long terminal repeats (LTRs), for example long interspersed elements (LINEs)". (Wikipedia/Retroposon)

"Retrotransposons also feature LTRs and retroviruses, in addition, are packaged as viral particles (virions). Retrosequences are non-autonomous elements devoid of RT. They are retroposed with the aid of the machinery of autonomous elements, such as LINEs; examples are short interspersed nuclear elements (SINEs) or mRNA-derived retro(pseudo)genes". (Wikipedia/Retroposon)


"Research from Duke University overturns previous beliefs about retrotransposons, showing that these DNA sequences actively use cellular mechanisms to form circular shapes and replicate. This finding, which has implications for understanding genetic evolution and diseases, challenges the long-held view that circular DNA is merely an accidental by-product.

"Phylogenetic tree of marsupials derived from retroposon data" (Wikipedia/Retroposon)


The human DNA molecule can involve three billion base pairs. The retroposon can transport DNA sequences to the wrong place. Or the DNA sequence. That is in a different place in DNA. Can make the cultivar look different. Than other cultivars in the same phylogenetic tree. 

But the other interesting thing in the DNA is the so-called "retroposons". Retroposon is circular-shaped DNA that transports genomes. Retroposons are DNA sequences that can travel in the genome. The circular DNA plays a vital role in cell replication. The circular DNA plasmids can also control the cell's machinery. 

That thing is also an interesting tool. Artificial retroposons are things that can transport virus resistance to the cells. And the same thing can act as an artificial retrovirus. If the system can create artificial retroposon the system can reprogram cell factories or cell organelles to produce things like antibodies. When retroposon is transported through the cell organelle, the cell organelle can return to its normal duties.

Chinese innovations and space lasers are interesting combinations.

Above: "Tiangong is China's operational space station located in low Earth orbit. (Image credit: Alejomiranda via Getty Images)" (Scpace.com, China's space station, Tiangong: A complete guide) Chinese are close to making nuclear-powered spacecraft.  Almost every day, we can read about Chinese technical advances. So are, the Chinese more innovative than Western people? Or is there some kind of difference in culture and morale between Western and Chinese societies? The Chinese superiority in hypersonic technology is one of the things that tells something about the Chinese way of making things.  In China, the mission means. And the only thing that means is mission. That means that things like budgets and safety orders are far different from Western standards. If some project serves the Chinese communist party and PLA (People's Liberation Army) that guarantees unlimited resources for those projects. Chinese authorities must not care about the public opinion.  If we th

Iron Dome is one of the most effective air defense systems.

The Iron Dome is a missile defense system whose missiles operate with highly sophisticated and effective artificial intelligence. The power of this missile defense base is in selective fire. The system calculates the incoming missile's trajectory. And it shoots only missiles that will hit the inhabited area. The system saves missiles and focuses defense on areas that mean something. The system shares the incoming missiles in, maybe two groups. Another is harmless and another is harmful.  Things like killer drones are also problematic because their trajectories are harder to calculate than ballistic missiles. The thing that makes drones dangerous is that they can make masks for ballistic missiles. And even if those drones are slow, all of them must be shot down.  The thing is that the cooperation between drone swarms and ballistic missiles is the next danger in conflict areas. In the film, you can see how drones make light images of the skies. The killer drones can also carry LED li

The innovative shield that protects OSIRIS-APEX can also protect the new hypersonic aircraft.

"NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft successfully completed its closest solar pass, protected by innovative engineering solutions and showing improvements in onboard instruments. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/CI Lab" (ScitechDaily, Innovative Engineering Shields NASA’s OSIRIS-APEX During Close Encounter With the Sun) The OSIRIS-APEX probe travels close to the sun. The mission plan is to research the sun. And especially find things that can warn about solar storms. Solar storms are things that can danger satellites at the Earth orbiter. And the purpose of OSIRIS-APEX is to find the method of how to predict those solar storms. Another thing is that the OSIRIS-APEX tests the systems and materials that protect this probe against heat and plasma impacts.  The same technology. The researchers created for OSIRIS-APEX can used in the materials and structures. That protects satellites against nuclear explosions. That means this kind of system delivers information on how to prot
