AI synopsis

What people are saying

The overall tone reflects low to moderate engagement with the scientific content, as many posts either dismiss its relevance to social issues or conflate it with ideological discussions on race and ethnicity, with phrases like 'linked God's Creation' and comments about microRNA and viral latency indicating a desire to connect the science to broader societal debates rather than deep scientific analysis.

AgreementNeither agree nor disagree

Mixed reactions with some posts supporting and others dismissing or misinterpreting the review's findings.

InterestModerate interest

Posts show moderate curiosity, mostly reacting to the scientific content but often veering into unrelated topics.

EngagementLow engagement

Several comments reference broader social issues or make dismissive remarks, indicating superficial engagement with the science.

ImpactNeutral impact

The discussions do not seem to significantly influence perspectives on the core scientific review but rather merge it with ideological debates.

Abstract in brief

  • Eye color is a polygenic trait primarily determined by iris pigmentation and light scattering, with brown being the most common globally.
  • Gene expression, involving specific genes and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), influences melanin levels and thus eye color, while microRNAs also regulate melanocyte activity.
  • The review examines the biochemical pathways of melanin synthesis, highlighting the roles of various genes and signaling pathways in controlling pigmentation in the human iris.]

@NGKids @NatGeo @DrIbram @greenwooddavis @NMAAHC Recent news from researchers in Iran links light-activated microRNA biogenesis to melanocyte synthesis and pigmentation in today's list of 133 more indexed published works and 103,500 others that would prevent #racism and #riots if parents looked at them. https://t.co/Q3NQgGieiN

I'm a medical laboratory scientist who knows that these facts have been linked to all ethnic differences via God's Creation of UV light and water. See: Molecular and biochemical mechanisms of human iris color: A comprehensive review https://t.co/Q3NQgGieiN https://t.co/JkximtJFjm

To defeat the WHO, we need to learn how they have contributed to #racism and #riots via their failure to recognize the underlying basis for God's Creation of ethnic diversity. https://t.co/Q3NQgGieiN Molecular and biochemical mechanisms of human iris color: A comprehensive review https://t.co/KZMSyU7fAg

@omargowayed @sciencemarchnyc If they were intelligent serious scientists they would have linked claims about ethnic diversity from light-activated microRNA biogenesis to the physiology of reproduction across all kingdoms on Earth. https://t.co/Q3NQgGieiN Instead, they have a slogan that promotes racism.

@Amone65448541 没有发现直接对比两者的区别的,但是有找到两者都属于色素含量极低的情况,和这种颜色应该和蛋白质结构有关的信息。 所以老师说灰 是因为蓝色的色素含量低应该不太成立。因为两者应该是平级,区别在于结构。(3) Molecular and biochemical mechanisms of human iris color: A comprehensive review

Il y a un paquet de gènes impliqué dans la production de la mélanine et donc malgré que la couleur des yeux peut semblé etre une transmission mendelienne autosomique récessive, ce n'est factuellement faux Pour ce thread je me suis basé sur cette review : https://t.co/D7aOD0DO2o

@PututoIsMyJesus @336ohnoimlate The Krebs cycle has not been linked to ethnicity, and racism is what's wrong with the world. The Calvin Cycle links God's Creation of UV light and water to all aspects of ethnicity and the end of racism. See: https://t.co/Q3NQgGieiN

Who needs opinions now that "Molecular and biochemical mechanisms of human iris color" https://t.co/Q3NQgGieiN 6/2/20 have been linked to "Literature searches [that] verified the functional relevance of the discriminating miRNAs." https://t.co/kZ7lbpDWB5 6/5/20 /1 https://t.co/xQU6qbKvnJ

@KatSienk Because most of them have nothing to be proud of. They failed to link God's Creation of UV light and water from protection against viruses to ethnic diversity via skin pigmentation. See for comparison: https://t.co/Q3NQgGieiN

@GaviSeth @gavi https://t.co/Q3NQgGieiN shows how faith in the God of Abraham links His Creation of UV light and water to energy-dependent DNA repair and ecological adaptations in pigmentation that defy the pseudoscientific nonsense about vaccines via links to the end of the 1918 Spanish flu.
