The Threat of Transparency - RE - RE-UPDATED!!

Perhaps you recall this revised post from some time back? 

It appears that the glass frog mentioned below in the originally re-updated post are not the only chordates becoming transparent. 

No, it's not politicians - more's the pity - it seems that there are now fish with transparent heads.

Our regular readers will not be surprised to find that the author(s) of the linked article attempt to pass this all off as a natural occurrence. No mention is made of these previous efforts at animal transparency. Further, these fish are using their new-found "clarity" as a competitive advantage. They can now look up through their own skulls to see prey which would not - until now - have worried about discovery from below.

One wonders when still higher life forms will get the "glass treatment" and just what other changes in the food chain or predator-prey relationships are in the offing.

One further wonders how a fully transparent human might manage to dominate those who remain visible. H.G. Wells had some instructive thoughts about this topic, but we oughtn't consider this question settled!

As to what is to come, time may tell, but we certainly will tell!

The Threat of Transparency - RE-UPDATED!!

Perhaps you recall this post from some time back?

The Threat of Transparency

1. Scientists have added colors to worms through genetic coding.
2. There may well be plans by governments and law enforcement agencies to use these colors as markers and tracking systems for criminals and other citizens.
3. Japanese scientists at RIKEN have found a way to make human tissue transparent.

Treating biological tissues with the newly discovered reagent renders it transparent, allowing the underlying structures to be easily examined.
Administering the next generation of this reagent intravenously is expected to render all parts of the treated subject equally transparent.
Work is underway on an antidote to this reagent, and the word is that it's being called a deagent. It seems clear that a transparent man could be a very effective spy, especially when that deagent is available to restore his opacity. The one sticking point seems to be a way of retaining some level of opacity in the retinas, to allow for vision, while still reducing the appearance of floating pink discs.

When more information becomes available, we'll report back here.

Well, they're at it again. Scientists at Cal Tech have created a transparent mouse - complete with transparent organs! (Why that is supplied as extra information is a bit hard to
 understand. If they're transparent, then their organs must be as well, no?)

Now all we need is for Putin to steal this technology and Ukraine won't be the only soon-to-be-former nation in his sights.

It would appear that there has been some biological leakage from one of these experimental laboratories!

Today amphibians, tomorrow higher chordates, next week primates? Science marches on to the drumbeat of despots and lunatics. Can't you see it? Hordes of transparent amphibian soldiers making their way through the marshes and estuaries of the Baltic to retake Estonia et al? No. You can't see it because they're transparent.

When we have more information, we'll report back here again.

Rabies Resistant Peruvian Mutants?

• Six Peruvians have survived - without treatment - the bite of rabid vampire bats.
• They live in remote villages far from civilization along the Amazon, where locals endure frequent, typically deadly, vampire attacks.
• Medical researchers agree that an untreated rabies infection in a human would be invariably fatal, that "nearly everyone who is found to be experiencing clinical symptoms of rabies dies"

While those in the know realize that vampire bats don't kill by draining the blood of their victims - they're far too small for that - they represent an important vector in the spread of rabies. In fact, the bats manage to lap up as much blood as they do by use of a factor in their saliva known as draculin which prevents the clotting and coagulation of the blood.

Until now, all medical experts were in agreement that rabies if left untreated is uniformly fatal. Were they wrong? Were they misleading us? Or ... has something different arisen in the Peruvian jungle?
Why has the Peruvian government not released DNA analyses of the survivors?
When will the Centers for Disease Control admit that the Peruvian Six carry a rabies-resistant mutation?
Which of the world's military organizations will be first to genetically enhance its soldiers with resistance to rabies - and then to develop similar mutations to protect against anthrax and other bio-weaponry?

We will report back here as we receive more information.

Mutant Monkey Flowers And Triffids

1. A new species of monkey flower has been discovered on the bank of a stream in Scotland. It is the offspring of two foreign plant species which typically produce only sterile hybrids.
2. Dr. Mario Vallejo-Marin of the University of Stirling has documented the first examples of these hybrid monkey flowers that actually show full fertility.
3. Dr. Vallejo-Marin has named this species Mimulus peregrinus, a name which translates as 'the wanderer'.

Can anyone read these words - especially the name of this new species - and not be concerned for the future of Great Britain?
Fertile hybrids of alien species - in fact, a plant called the wanderer - can bode little but ill for the island nations of the UK.

When will the British government admit to its citizens that these "monkey flowers" pose a clear and present danger to them?
Will the British government be able to protect the vast numbers of visitors currently headed for their shores for the quadrennial Olympic games?

We'll monitor this species and this situation and report back here when there is more information. Until then, stocking up on sea water can't be a mistake.

Human DNA Has Been Enriched

 

Nematodes, DNA, and UV Radiation

1. A team of Cambridge University scientists has altered the DNA of a nematode worm, formerly of the species Caenorhabditis elegans.
2. They have forced this new worm sub-species to incorporate an unnatural, 21st amino acid into its proteins, expanding the palette from the 20 found in actual living creatures.
3. When irradiated with Ultra-Violet Radiation, the unnatural amino acid causes these modified nematodes to glow a bright cherry red.

Given this discovery and the recent revelation that human DNA has been enhanced as well, it is imperative that the government and scientists reveal to us the purpose of these experiments.

Will the law enforcement branches of government admit that they'll be able to track ex-convicts through Ultra-Violet Radiation? Will they guarantee that only convicted felons will be treated with this procedure? What other colors will these scientists add to the palette of the classifiers? With fluorescent green and cherry red already available, what is next?

We'll report back here when more information is available.

Truth Decay

Human DNA Has Been Enriched

1. Human (and other) DNA is composed of four basic building blocks - the nucleoties adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine.
2. Recent research indicates there are now four additional nucleotides.
3. Those four additional nucleotides are chemically modified versions of cytosine.
4. Two of these additional building blocks had been seen before the recent stoppage and restart of the SETI project, while the other two were only found after that incident.

It seems that something has caused a chemical modification of one of the four basic building blocks of human genetic material. The question is what is that cause?

This might be a natural adaptation taking place in preparation for the coming Ice Age, but it's also possible that this could be an induced change.

Why won't our governments and scientists tell us the source of these changes? Are they part of the process, or are they afraid of our reaction to the truth?

We'll report back when more information is available.
