... that it wouldn't even be picked up by our most sensitive cameras. I also suspected the endogenous peroxidase activity but that did not seem to factor in either since the anti-DIG + cy3 always worked. I thought of trying cy5 but we do not seem to have the filter for that wavelength...so i m ...

PHF20 is a transcription factor that seems to be unique to the production of p53. (see http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/08/120824082534.htm ). The wrap53 gene is produces mRNA that is antisense to p53 mRNA(see http:// http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090227072646.htm) ...

Hmm. If instead of "So I think that the cause of cancer ..." you wrote "So I think that a factor sometimes increasing cancer ..." then I think you have a reasonable and testable hypothesis. However, one-size-fits-all cancer mechanisms are often proposed ...

... without phenotypic plasticity may still reproduce, passing its static genes on. In order for the lack of plasticity to become fixed, some other factor would have to come into play. In a small population, random genetic drift could cause the entire population to lose phenotypic plasticity. Or, ...
