Vyssotski D.L. Hybrid vigour and hybrid dysgenesis. Evolocus 1, 31-36 (2019).

Abstract. The formation of a hybrid phenotype in mammals remains a mystery. In order to resolve this mystery we have chosen inbred mouse strains C57BL/6J and DBA/2J, and their F1 hybrid B6D2F1, took only females for experiment and housed them during postnatal days P22-P60 either in standard or enriched living conditions, always 4 mice per cage. This adolescent cage enrichment has evoked either induction of hybrid vigour or its significant enhancement, observed in different operant behavioural tasks during the rest of their life (Morris water maze, Go/NoGo sound frequency and sound duration discrimination tasks). This induction or enhancement can be understood only if ontogenesis is an active process, driven by action acceptors a€“ by entities that percept the achievement of positive developmental results, even if the last ones have appeared with a help of random or unexpected factors of stochastic or genetic nature. The same way action acceptors direct evolution on Earth.

Neurologger 3 and its history. Evolocus 1, I-VI (2016).

Abstract. Neurologger has been originally designed to record EEG, local field potentials and neuronal activity in freely moving animals in their natural environments. Later its spectrum of applicability was extended to EMG and ECG recording. Recently Neurologger has been applied to study of auditory communication in animals and, thanks to increased up to 200 kHz sampling rate in single-channel mode, to study of ultrasonic echolocation in bats. Today Neurologger is represented by two versions: Neurologger 2A/2B and Neurologger 3. Neurologger 2A/2B remains our lightest version (1.3 g without battery) and it is capable to record up to 4 channels at 33.3 kHz, 10-bit into soldered on board memory (1 or 2 GB). Neurologger 3 is slightly heavier (1.7 g without battery), it records up to 32 channels at 20.8 kHz, 16-bit into microSDXC card (4-256 GB) and it has remote control and data access through BlueTooth communication with Windows 10 machines.

Vyssotski D.L. Nomogenesis and the logic of chance. Evolocus 1, 25-30 (2016).

Abstract. Evolution of available genomes was shown to be proceeding through random changes, the changes that comprise the main modus of evolution (Koonin, 2011). Morphological evolution of available and extinct Metazoa was shown to be going on the basis of law, by means of precession of characters, where characters originally manifested in the young along in the course of time and evolution were displayed also in adult descendants (or supposed descendants) of that organism (Berg, 1922). This contradiction is obviously solved in nature, where the appearance of any new genetic locus in the genome and its further expression in the phenotype can be separated by unlimited period of time and by unlimited number of generations.?? The management of dormant genetic loci has come from the previous evolutionary stage, unimaginable today, where organisms were open systems with respect to the flow of genetic elements and were collecting, discriminating and storing genetic elements from the external environment. This was an important period when multiple systems for blocking and unblocking of genetic loci came into being. However even before this stage, it was even more fantastic evolutionary period where replication, transcription and translation were absent and Eigen cycle was not possible, but organisms were collecting randomly available components (proteins, RNA and DNA) by means of action acceptors (Anokhin, 1955) a€“ sites of double-stranded DNA mechanically compatible with useful components. Action acceptors themselves were unable to be replicated by modern way (no DNA polymerase!), but they were collecting their pseudo-copies from the environment a€“ the pieces of DNA that were born in the environment and occurred to be compatible by chance with current action acceptors. Action acceptors, a€“ the structures that sense presumably useful results or substances, were directing evolution from the early beginning and they are directing it today through activation and deactivation of dormant genetic loci.

Vyssotski D.L. Transgenerational epigenetic compensation and natural selection. Evolocus 1, 19-24 (2014).

Abstract. The term a€?epigeneticsa€? defines all meiotically and mitotically heritable changes in gene expression that are not coded in the DNA sequence itself. Transgenerational epigenetic compensation was discovered in the untreated progeny of drug-treated males (rats and mice) as the opposite quantitative phenotypic changes. In natural populations, the hereditary basis of transgenerational epigenetic compensation develops mainly in homozygous mutant males, but it does not affect their phenotype. In their descendants, being in an independent locus, this heritable epigenetic compensation increases fitness and lifespan of homozygous mutant females and decreases lifespan of wild-type females, starting from F2. Here we show that this transgenerational epigenetic compensation is a guiding agent of natural selection. Natural selection is not a directing or driving force of evolution anymore. Natural selection needs some guidance. Transgenerational epigenetic compensation can initiate speciation through segregation of mutants and wild-types and/or it can change the selection coefficient of a given mutation.

Abstract. The term a€?epigeneticsa€? defines all meiotically and mitotically heritable changes in gene expression that are not coded in the DNA sequence itself. Transgenerational epigenetic compensation was discovered in the untreated progeny of drug-treated males (rats and mice) as the opposite quantitative phenotypic changes. In natural populations, heritable epigenetic compensation can convert mutants into hopeful monsters, initiates speciation, and therefore determines the route of macroevolution. Transgenerational epigenetic compensation facilitates genetic assimilation of acquired characters in microevolution. The ontogenesis of females is better canalized than that one of males, and natural selection proceeds mainly through selection of males. However the presence of sexual dimorphism in transgenerational epigenetic compensation remains unclear. Here we show that the hereditary basis of transgenerational epigenetic compensation develops mainly in males. However the phenotypic results of this development are more pronounced in their female descendants, starting from F2. This sexual dimorphism enhances the efficiency of micro- and macroevolution.

Abstract. The term a€?epigeneticsa€? defines all meiotically and mitotically heritable changes in gene expression that are not coded in the DNA sequence itself. Transgenerational epigenetic compensation of disturbed functionality was discovered in the untreated progeny of drug-treated fathers as the opposite quantitative phenotypic changes (phenotypic inversion). Epigenetic changes, responsible for heritable compensation, are distributed between several independent loci and these changes disappear gradually and asynchronously during a few untreated generations. The role of hereditary epigenetic compensation in evolution remains unclear. Here we show that transgenerational epigenetic compensation of disturbed functionality converts mutants into hopeful monsters, initiates speciation and facilitates genetic assimilation of acquired characters. The increase of environmental pressure, applied to mutant and wild-type animals, induces heritable epigenetic compensation in mutants (initially less fit), whereas the development of wild-types remains canalized. In a random breeding population this heritable epigenetic compensation increases fitness and lifespan of mutants and decreases lifespan of wild-types.

Abstract. The term a€?epigeneticsa€? defines all meiotically and mitotically heritable changes in gene expression that are not coded in the DNA sequence itself. The ability of environmental factors to reprogram the germ line and to promote transgenerational disease states has significant implications for evolutionary biology. However, the biological function of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance remains unclear. Here we show that epigenetic inheritance promotes transgenerational compensation of disturbed functionality. After chronic morphine treatment of male Wistar rats or neonatal thyroxine treatment of male DBA/2J mice many of the changes discovered in the untreated progeny occurred to be the opposite of those observed in the treated fathers themselves. Phenotypic analysis of the untreated F1-F3 generations has revealed several independent epigenetically modified loci. Transgenerational epigenetic compensation was observed in the F2-F3 and further generations of transgenic Per2(Brdm1) mice raised under semi-natural outdoor conditions and it was localized not in the same locus as original mutation.
