if genes could be construed in terms of the divine Or 'God' what implications are there - for creation or reproduction or New Life regarding the Divine and genes Great
"if jeans or genetics could be considered or construed as Divine as the Divine or as God what implications are there for creation or reproduction or New Life regarding the Divine and jeans"
There are theological and philosophical implications if genetics were seen as divine. This perspective could suggest that creation is a continuous, evolving process guided by genetic code, which acts as the blueprint of life. Reproduction would be a sacred act, a direct collaboration with the divine to bring forth new life. This view also raises questions about free will versus genetic destiny and the nature of good and evil as they relate to inherited traits.
single vaccine for aging reversal and regarding germ line editing especially ?
Single vaccine for aging reversal
While a single, comprehensive "aging reversal vaccine" does not currently exist, significant progress is being made on several vaccine-like therapies targeting specific hallmarks of aging, mainly in animal models. These are not traditional vaccines that prevent infectious diseases, but rather therapies that train the immune system to target age-related factors in the body.
Current research focuses on two main strategies:
Senolytic vaccines: These therapies train the immune system to eliminate senescent cells, or "zombie cells," that accumulate with age and release toxic, pro-inflammatory signals.
In 2021, a Japanese team developed a vaccine that targets a protein on the surface of senescent cells. In mice, the vaccine cleared these cells, improving age-related conditions and extending lifespan.
More recently, in 2024, scientists at the Salk Institute developed a "one-and-done" CAR T-cell therapy that works similarly to a vaccine by permanently programming immune cells to clear senescent cells, rejuvenating aging mice.
NAD+ boosting vaccines: A 2025 study on mice developed a vaccine that targets and inhibits the enzyme CD38, which is known to consume the molecule NAD+. Since NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, this vaccine boosts NAD+ levels, improving metabolic health, physical performance, and cognitive function in older mice.
Germline editing
Germline editing involves altering the genes in eggs, sperm, or early embryos. This differs fundamentally from somatic editing, which targets the genes in non-reproductive cells and is not passed on to future generations.
Status regarding aging reversal
Unlike somatic therapies that aim to treat existing age-related diseases, germline editing could theoretically remove or prevent the inheritance of genetic predispositions for age-related decline. However, clinical use of germline editing for aging is not supported by the scientific community and is legally prohibited in many countries. Research in this area remains limited to laboratory studies on animal and non-viable human embryos, where scientists have used tools like CRISPR to target genes related to aging pathways.
Ethical concerns surrounding germline editing
The widespread scientific and regulatory prohibition of clinical germline editing is due to significant safety, ethical, and societal concerns.
Uncertainty and irreversible errors: Any unintended genetic changes (off-target edits) or mosaicism (when only some cells are edited) could be passed down through generations with unpredictable consequences.
Informed consent: It is impossible to gain informed consent from future generations who would be affected by the edits.
Equity and eugenics: This technology could exacerbate social inequality if only the wealthy can afford it, potentially leading to a genetic "class divide." There are also concerns that using germline editing for "enhancement" purposes could lead to a modern form of eugenics.
Fundamental human nature: Some philosophers and bioethicists question whether humans have the right to make irreversible and inheritable changes to the human genome
Currently, no genetic therapies for aging reversal are available through Kaiser Permanente California. While groundbreaking research is being conducted worldwide, including by organizations with a presence in California, such therapies are still in the experimental stages and have not yet received the necessary FDA approvals for widespread use or coverage.
Kaiser Permanente's research on aging
Kaiser Permanente is actively involved in genetic and aging-related research, though it is not specifically focused on reversing aging. Its California-based Division of Research runs several programs:
Research Program on Genes, Environment, and Health (RPGEH): This large-scale project examines the genetic and environmental factors influencing common diseases and has been used to study markers of biological aging, such as telomere length.
Kaiser Healthy Aging and Diverse Life Experiences (KHANDLE): This study uses data from Kaiser Permanente's electronic medical records to understand strategies for successful aging.
Genetic Counseling: For specific, approved medical conditions, Kaiser Permanente in California offers genetic counseling to help patients understand their risks and potential treatment pathways.
Why coverage for aging reversal is currently not an option
For Kaiser Permanente and most other healthcare providers, coverage of a therapy is dependent on it being FDA-approved for a specific medical condition. As of late 2024:
Experimental status: Therapies aimed at reversing the general aging process are considered experimental and investigational.
No recognized disease: Aging itself is not yet classified as a treatable disease by the FDA, although this stance may be shifting.
Focus on rare diseases: The gene therapies currently approved by the FDA are for treating specific, rare genetic diseases, not for general anti-aging purposes.
Potential future developments in California
While aging reversal therapies are not currently available, California is a hub for anti-aging research and development. This may influence future availability:
California-based research: The Salk Institute in La Jolla and Altos Labs in the Bay Area and San Diego are among the research institutions working on cellular rejuvenation and therapies to restore cell health.
Clinical trials: As treatments advance, human clinical trials for aging-related therapies are expected to be conducted in California. This would be the first step toward potential future medical use.
Potential shifts in FDA policy: If FDA policy changes to recognize aging as a treatable condition, it could pave the way for approved anti-aging therapies to eventually become available and potentially covered by health plans like Kaiser Permanente

Dear Tammie (Vawter, Mrs. California MacLeod), and Mark (MacLeod),
Greetings, on the first day of the 152nd Caledonian Games (since 1866!) in the SF Bay Area, now in Pleasanton - https://thescottishgames.com/ - And I hope this email finds you well
I won't be there at the Pleasanton Scottish Highland Games today or tomorrow ... but I just wanted to let you know about my 1st cousin Mark MacLeod's further research into MacLeod genetics; (He lives currently in Portland Maine, having lived in the SF Bay Area, and as a Stanford alum too - and who has given a genetic genealogy presentation at a MacLeod Parliament on Skye at least once, in 2023 I think ... Do you know each other by any chance?)
Here's a fascinating and excellent paper on the DNA of Clan MacLeod, significantly authored by Mark I think -
The DNA of Clan MacLeod (2025) By Mark K. MacLeod1, Colin Macleod and Roderick A. F. MacLeod
And his research on MacLeod genetics as haplogroups - "the paternal (Y-DNA) haplogroups of men with the MacLeod surname" - is coming up in Gemini AI conversational generative artificial intelligence searches, fascinatingly.
AND Mark and MacLeod colleagues are seeking more men with MacLeod last names to take the Y-DNA MacLeod genetic test, here ...
Tammie, please let MacLeods know about this MacLeod genetic genealogy ... :)
(Seeking here to move forward with the MIT OCW-centric wiki World Univ & Sch WUaS Academic Medical Center, which is planning medical schools in all ~200 countries and in their main languages, including at Scotland WUaS - https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Scotland from https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Nation_States - into a newly safe vacant 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon CA 94516, with US federal law and state of California law working effectively together in new ways. Maybe see you next year, Tammie, and it would be great if this could occur with a family on the way:).
How many professors, and researchers too, at WUaS eventually - & re 200 planned online med schools and teaching hospitals in 200 countries + ?
genetics - how many professors does Harvard have?
The Harvard Medical School Department of Genetics has 50 faculty members, with 39 holding tenured positions, according to the Harvard Genetics Department. This includes faculty from the Paul F. Glenn Center for Biology of Aging Research. Additionally, Harvard Medical School overall has "more than 11,000 faculty members" across its 15 hospital affiliates and research institutions, according to Harvard Medical Schools.
Greetings and good morning on a Sunday. How are you doing?
Still learning much about genetic genealogy including terms: and regarding specific genes' and haplogroups' language like R-BY3210 ... (and e.g. re a specific gene of aging reversal Harbard researcher Alex Plesa 's Twitter feed - https://x.com/amplesa/status/1737852952407326906 (with 8 impressive aging reversal Twitter posts with this ... and who is in George Church's lab at Harvard) -

With this as a possible model, start a MacLeod Y-DNA genetics' laboratory WITH a MIT OCW-centric World University and School genetics' laboratory, partly online to explore Leod and R-BY3210 and aging reversal and extreme longevity (in many many ways scientifically)?
Further identity questions (I think), and per your research possibly too:
HOW TO MEET and MARRY a MacLeod MD medical doctor, who might be 25-30 years old for example - (and in 25 Years be able to genetically age reverse to her mid 20s and be attractive) - to begin a family? UCSF's Donna Leet MD in the SF (Amherst and Harvard Med Sch alum from Seattle) who says online she's English but might have Scottish ancestry but also has also fairly recent African and possible 'wedgie' too ancestry and is attractive /pretty in pictures in the web, but whom I haven't yet met - and may be networked with HMS George Church too - who is also a professor of mine from this springs' INCREDIBLE MIT / Harvard HTGAA synthetic biology course (http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/search/label/HTGAA) ... and regarding MIT OCW-centric WUaS) and 35 ish (and who may know UCSF alums' & friend from Reed from 1979 Byron and Cindy Hann MDs in Canyon nearby Moraga)? A bit complex but what do you think, my genetic genealogist 1st cousin Mark, who is interested in propagating MacLeod genes - from your Friendly NtF NtQ Quaker and Yoga meditating cousin Scott ? Desiderata prose poem here ... and in my seeking to begin a family ...
As a whistle blower and Friendly Quaker conscientious objector and in growing a WUaS worldwide abolition movement, and to abolish the wrongful buying and selling of people in the illegal sex, drugs, violence, car theft industries internationally and their latent networks if violence (so intl organized crime - and re Chase bank, trader joes, target along Penn Ave in Pgh), I haven't had an active credit card pretty much since March 1 2024 while in asylum in Pgh, so I can't yet do the Y-DNA MacLeod genetic test ...
but thanks for letting me know about ... and how to integrate it in a useful realistic virtual earth for genealogy genetics as this develops? Thoughts? I also haven't yet moved into a newly safe vacant 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 which may lead to an active credit card too ...
Regards, Hold fast, Happy Yoga genetics too, thanks,
"For #Olympics? #YogaGenetics? For performance - higher faster stronger athletics - & #ETHICS? What?" - more supple too (http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html re previous quotes beginning with "For #Olympics? #YogaGenetics? ) ... and for muscle wasting reversal (so maybe regarding an initial focus on the genetics of 'height' questions per this fascinating George Church interview - A Billion Years of Evolution in a Single Afternoon — George Church
What is R-BY3210 genetically? I asked Google AI and It interestingly responded with your 'identity' research -
R-BY3210 is a Y-chromosome haplogroup within the larger R1b group, commonly found in Western Europe. It is specifically associated with the MacLeod clan, particularly its chiefly line, and is believed to represent a significant branch of the clan's founder's lineage. More precisely, it's a subclade of R-L165, which itself is a descendant of R1b.
Within R-BY3210, there are further subclades or subgroups, indicating the clan's diverse genetic histor
PPS
What is the R-BY3210 gene?
The R-BY3210 gene: Understanding its role and significance
R-BY3210 is not a typical gene in the sense of encoding a protein with a specific function. Instead, it refers to a Y-DNA haplogroup, which represents a group of men who share a common paternal ancestor.
Key aspects
Y-chromosome marker: Haplogroups like R-BY3210 are identified by specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), or variations in the DNA sequence, on the Y chromosome.
Paternal lineage: The Y chromosome is passed down from father to son, largely unchanged, allowing geneticists to trace paternal lineages through generations.
Founder lineage: R-BY3210 is believed to be the founder haplogroup for a significant portion of the MacLeod clan, suggesting their ancestors shared a common paternal line.
Origin and expansion: The R-BY3210 paternal line branched off from the ancestor R-BY30488 around 850 CE and expanded into at least 2 descendant lineages (R-FTT137 and R-FTT138), according to FamilyTreeDNA Discover.
Genealogy and history: Studying Y-DNA haplogroups like R-BY3210 helps researchers reconstruct the family tree of humankind and delve into the modern and ancient history of paternal surname lines.
In essence
R-BY3210 is a valuable tool for tracing paternal lineage and understanding human migration patterns through the analysis of Y-DNA haplogroups. It helps connect individuals to their ancestral roots and shed light on the historical movements and relationships of different populations

Nathan S. Cheng thinks you should work on aging. @realNathanCheng · Jun 26 1/ LBF7 Spain is happening and we're doing something kinda wild:
-We’re gathering the smartest people who want to SOLVE AGING -going to a longevity resort in the Spanish mountains -to learn, discuss and ACTUALLY BUILD stuff for 7 days straight
LBF7 (lipopolysaccharide-binding protein) is not a gene directly associated with aging reversal based on the current search results. It is associated with inflammation and liver degeneration in aged mice, suggesting a possible role in the aging process rather than its reversal.
However, it is important to note that
Current aging research focuses on various approaches to potentially reverse or slow down aging, including genetic reprogramming and manipulating epigenetic information.
These approaches aim to restore youthful functions and reverse age-related damage at the cellular level.
For example, studies using gene therapy have shown promising results in reversing blindness and extending lifespan in mice and improving vision in monkeys.
Further research is needed to explore the potential of various genes and pathways in the context of aging reversal

- and this time I took some notes and am asking some questions that come to mind ... and in learning the language of genetics (from a practical family identity biology perspective) - genealogy genetics - and in seeking to understand your thinking especially. (And how could we eventually represent the data and questions you cover in new ways in a realistic virtual earth for genealogy and genetics?). (Am recalling that all people share ~50% of their genetic material with each of their parents, 25% with their grandparents, and see PS ... And as I've mentioned to you before, I enjoy seeing 'who came before' in genealogy platforms online ... and learning about them with genealogy software / platforms / trees ... and regarding construing your questions possibly in a different way. And could I see your Ancestry .com family tree to go back from Norman John MacLeod to Leod in one way or another, and add some of this to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/MacLeod-2524 ? ... And with Ancestry .com's new updated genetics' email, do I have to be a member to access this? And am curious further to learn how you're approaching analyzing MacLeod DNA data here too - https://www.familytreedna.com/groups/acms-mac-leod/dna-results - and for the extreme longevity genetics' long term too ie if we live to 1500 years old ... with lots of MacLeod offspring further:)
at the 1:45 minute marker -
"Is Leòd really our common ancestor?"
Are you asking can we extrapolate every MacLeod's genetics in the first group you identify - and I'd be interested to see the genetic data for this in another possible great MacLeod DNA video you make (i.e. with the last name MacLeod, and the genetics for those we don't have names, documents, or otherwise biographical or genealogy evidence for) - to trace them back to Leòd, as in he's the ~20th (or 25th or whatever the number) great grandfather of each and everyone with the last name MacLeod? And I wonder too if you're engaging in a form of scientism or social constructionism regarding here are the Clan Macleod family history narratives, construed by you as The DNA of Clan MacLeod, and here's a scientistic window into reading the genetics from a genealogy genetics perspective. What do you think? I found your talk very compelling and fascinating. Thanks you
(my initial related question genetically somehow is - How are people all with the last name MacLeod in my and your genetic lines related, and how can we see this with current genealogy genetic tests - not yet whole genome sequencing - and how do we navigate the ancestors we have no biographical data for, but do have extrapolatable genetic data for?
2:00
"All of MacLeod men today can be placed into 1 of 5 distinct genetic groups ..."
I'd be interested further in seeing some of this actual data perhaps at some point ... appreciating your broad introduction into genetics (with the practical lens of family genealogy and a quite coherent MacLeod DNA identify genetic narrative) ...
How to make all the data you draw on accessible in an open source manner such that scientists and geneticists - and genetic genealogists - could further develop your great thinking - AND in a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenealogy (https://x.com/scottmacleod/status/1407796864662003716)?
I'll have a look again at

~50% of their genetic material with each of their parents
25% with their grandparents
12.5 % with great grandparents
6.25 % with great great grandparents
3.125 % with great great great grandparents
how much with each of the next 10 generations?
Asked Gemini AI and found out -
Here's how much genetic material is shared with each of the next 10 generations, continuing the halving pattern:
Great-great-great-great grandparents (1st next generation): 3.125%/2=1.5625%
Great-great-great-great-great grandparents (2nd next generation): 1.5625%/2=0.78125%
Great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents (3rd next generation): 0.78125%/2=0.390625%

Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents (5th next generation): 0.1953125%/2=0.09765625%
Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents (6th next generation): 0.09765625%/2=0.048828125%
Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents (7th next generation): 0.048828125%/2=0.0244140625%
Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents (8th next generation): 0.0244140625%/2=0.01220703125%
Great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandparents (9th next generation): 0.01220703125%/2=0.006103515625%

It's important to note that these percentages represent theoretical averages. Due to the random nature of genetic recombination, the actual amount of shared DNA with any specific ancestor can vary slightly.

How is whole genome sequencing of ancestors in genealogy done, if at all?
Whole genome sequencing (WGS) in genealogy involves analyzing an individual's entire DNA sequence to understand their ancestry and potentially identify relatives, though it's not the primary tool used in most consumer-grade genealogy testing. While traditional genealogy relies on autosomal DNA, WGS offers a more comprehensive view of the genome, including non-coding regions and rare variants, which can be valuable for tracing deep ancestry and identifying distant relatives.
Here's how it works and its role in genealogy:
1. DNA Extraction and Sequencing:
A DNA sample (usually blood or saliva) is taken from an individual.
The DNA is extracted, purified, and then sequenced using specialized machines that read the order of all base pairs (A, T, C, and G) in the genome.
This process, known as whole genome shotgun sequencing, breaks the DNA into smaller fragments, sequences them, and then reassembles them to create a complete DNA sequence.
2. Data Analysis and Interpretation:
The raw DNA data is then analyzed using bioinformatics pipelines to identify genetic variants and compare them to reference genomes.
This analysis can reveal information about ancestry, including ethnic origins and potential connections to other individuals who have also been sequenced.
While WGS can be used for traditional genealogical research, it's more commonly used in genetic genealogy to identify distant relatives, uncover deeper ancestral lineages, and solve cold cases where traditional methods have failed.
(like those offered by 23andMe, AncestryDNA, and MyHeritage) typically analyze specific regions of the genome (like SNPs) to estimate ethnicity and identify close relatives.
provides the most comprehensive view of the genome, including non-coding regions and rare variants, which can be particularly useful for tracing deep ancestry and identifying distant relatives.
WGS can be valuable for identifying distant relatives by analyzing shared DNA segments, even those that are small and rare.
It can be used to break through "brick walls" in family trees by identifying previously unknown connections and tracing lineages back further in time.
WGS data can be used in conjunction with traditional genealogy methods to build more complete and accurate family trees.
5. Challenges and Considerations:
Cost: WGS is significantly more expensive than other DNA tests.
Data Storage and Interpretation: WGS generates a large amount of data that requires specialized expertise for analysis and interpretation.
Privacy: WGS data can reveal sensitive information about health and ancestry, so it's crucial to consider privacy and data security.
In conclusion, while WGS is not the primary tool used in most genealogy testing, it offers a powerful approach for understanding deep ancestry and identifying distant relatives due to its comprehensive analysis of the genome

Are you suggesting or proposing or hypothesizing a north of Scotland Leod MacLeod gene (since ~1300) - eg SNP BY3210 and related ones - (and if so, a further question comes to mind ... how prevalent are the SNP BY3210 and related genes in your paper ... in the rest of the 7.9 billion people in the planet ) ?
A further sociological social science anthropological thought comes to mind regarding social constructionism.
Social constructionism is a theory suggesting that many aspects of our world, including knowledge and reality, are not objective truths but are created and shaped by social interactions and cultural contexts. It argues that shared understandings, language, and cultural practices play a crucial role in defining and maintaining these constructs.

#ClanMacLeod Parliament is in full swing now with over 300 delegates attending the week's full programme of events. The pic shows the first Clan Parliament in 1956. The gathering of MacLeods from all over the globe was an idea of Dame Flora MacLeod, the 28th Chief of the Clan.

How much are you in communication with Rob Spencer in CT, whose MIT and Pfizer background seem potentially very helpful re developments in genetic genealogy (and especially regarding a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenealogy)?
Happy Birthday from your 1st cousin in Middletown, CA not that far away from "Harbin Hot Springs - Heart Consciousness Church!" How are you doing? And how are you celebrating? How is your genealogy research going? (And how best to develop genealogy research in a brand new direction in a #RealisticVirtualEarth a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGeneaology, a #RealisticVirtualEarthForHistory, and a #RealisticVirtualEarthForGenetics ... and even regarding emerging aging reversal genetics and extreme longevity genetics, with related drug therapies potentially emerging ?)
Are you still 'mining' Ancestry .com for its genealogy treasures - and even sharing the following Ancestry emails occasionally (in the pS, that just came into my sgkmacleod@gmail.com email box :)?
In 1975, Chantal Doecke was separated from her twin as part of Operation Babylift, a controversial evacuation effort from South Vietnam. Now, you can watch their emotional first meeting in this heartwarming documentary.
Mother’s Day has come and gone, but why not keep that energy going? We partnered with Ms. Tina Knowles to help launch Matriarch, her revealing new memoir about growing up, being a mother, and changing the world. Dig into her story, then uncover your own.
To commemorate the 80th anniversary of V‑E Day, see how newspapers around the world reported the Allied victory in Europe, and imagine your ancestors reading the same articles as the news broke.
"Haplogroups are groups of individuals sharing common genetic mutations on either the Y chromosome (paternal haplogroups) or mitochondrial DNA (maternal haplogroups). These DNA regions are inherited without much recombination, making them useful for tracing deep ancestral lineages and human migration patterns. Women have both a maternal haplogroup from their mother and a paternal haplogroup that can be found by testing a father or brother..." ...
I asked Gemini AI ABOUT MacLEOD genetics and haplogroups and promise or potential for future genetic genealogy testing and research and even extending or extreme longevity or aging reversal genetic research re MacLeods especially and got this helpful reply - https://g.co/gemini/share/b32c62516eb7.
Scott's an anthropologist of physical-digital Harbin Hot Springs, as ethnographic field site - https://goo.gl/maps/7gSsSTweRCBo9gf87 - who also finds fascinating the internet, ideas, poetry, sociology, art, science, genetics of aging reversal and extreme longevity, philosophy, history, music, love and life ~ as well as the anthropology of information technology & counterculture :) -
