"First Look: FIBONACCI-Numbers and LUCAS-Numbers and Newcastle disease virus: A Very Reasonable Fit" by Stefan Geier
First Look: FIBONACCI-Numbers and LUCAS-Numbers and Newcastle disease virus: A Very Reasonable Fit by Stefan Geier Newcastle disease virus f ollows a 5 + 3 = 8 scheme with Fibonacci-numbers F(5) + F(4) = F(6) as seen in panel A of Figure 1 by Yuqi Duan, Guiying Leng, Menglan Liu and Zhiqiang Duan 2025. The first Fibonacci-numbers and Lucas-numbers: Fibonacci F(n ): 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, ... Lucas L(n ): 2, 1, 3, 4, 7 , 11, 18, 29, 47, 76, 123, ... Evidence: Fig 1 . Schematic representation of NDV genome-coded products and genome organization . (A) Diagram of NDV genome and genome-encoded proteins. (B) The numbers in parentheses of NDV genome map indicate the nt lengths of viral non-transcribed Le, Tr, and IGSs. The first and second row of numbers above the map indicate the nt and aa lengths of the viral genes and proteins, respectively. The position of nt insertion sites is shown below the map denoted by * , †, and ‡. (C) The gene-start, gene-end, and intergenic se...
