Dr. William B. Miller Jr. is a physician, evolutionary biologist, and author of The Microcosm Within, Bioverse, and The Sentient Cell — books redefining how we understand life, evolution, and consciousness itself.He believes every cell is intelligent — sensing, deciding, and creating information from within. His groundbreaking theory of Cognition-Based Evolution reframes evolution not as a blind process of random mutations, but as a self-organizing, information-driven system guided by cellular

️ Episode 175: Predictive Prioritization of Pancreatic Enhancers Linked to Disease Risk In this episode of PaperCast Base by Base, we explore how enhancer–promoter 3D chromatin maps from five primary human pancreatic cell types were transformed into graph “tree” models to quantify enhancer connectivity and prioritize elements most critical for cell-type-specific gene expression, creating a framework to connect noncoding variants to function in pancreatic
