‘If it’s alive, it sleeps.’ Brainless creatures shed light on why we slumber Sleep’s benefits may extend far beyond the brain, with role for muscles, immune system, and gut

Perhaps once an #AI #learns to sleep…it will #awaken? Is sleep an epigenetic mode?

The simplest of slumbers. #Evidence from #evolutionarily #ancient #creatures is revealing that #sleep is not just for the #brain. 28 Oct 2021. Elizabeth Pennisi www.science.org/content/arti...

Enrichment of evolutionary young fixed TE copies near multi-ethnic TE-GWAS hits

Juan next hypothesized that SNVs 🧬 may reside in #TE copies that could provide substrates for de novo #transposition or #homology-dependent structural remodeling (think #NAHR). Consistently, he observed an enrichment of #evolutionarily young #LINE1 copies and intermediate-aged #Alu copies. 6/8
