Some universities have reported offences rising by more than 1000 per cent in recent years
Scam artists are flogging essays to Scots university students for almost £180 that “guarantee” them a pass.
We were quoted £176 for a 2000-word politics essay by the firm, topically titled “Evaluate the Success or Failure of Nicola Sturgeon as First Minister of Scotland”. When the Record confronted Blair by phone, accusing him of immoral and unethical behaviour, he claimed essays provided are to assist learning.
He added: “You will be getting an offline plagiarism report along with the work to ensure the work has been done from scratch and was not copied and pasted from anywhere.”At essayfactory.co.uk, we were quoted £140 for an essay tailored to our specifications. The senior academic said: “This is a very real threat and it’s already devaluing degrees all over Scotland. It will be happening at schools and colleges too.
He said: “It is pretty much accepted that the face of learning will change dramatically in the next couple of years. There will be more presentations and different faculties may have to ditch essays altogether, as cheating is so rife.Academics and politicians have demanded the Scottish Government urgently passes laws to ban profiteering by essay mills.

LINE1-Mediated Reverse Transcription and Genomic Integration of SARS-CoV-2 mRNA Detected in Virus-Infected but Not in Viral mRNA-Transfected CellsSARS-CoV-2 sequences can be reverse-transcribed and integrated into the genomes of virus-infected cells by a LINE1-mediated retrotransposition mechanism. Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) methods detected retrotransposed SARS-CoV-2 subgenomic sequences in virus-infected cells overexpressing LINE1, while an enrichment method (TagMap) identified retrotranspositions in cells that did not overexpress LINE1. LINE1 overexpression increased retrotranspositions about 1000-fold as compared to non-overexpressing cells. Nanopore WGS can directly recover retrotransposed viral and flanking host sequences, but its sensitivity depends on the depth of sequencing (a typical 20-fold sequencing depth would only examine 10 diploid cell equivalents). In contrast, TagMap enriches the host–virus junctions and can interrogate up to 20,000 cells and is able to detect rare viral retrotranspositions in LINE1 non-overexpressing cells. Although Nanopore WGS is 10–20-fold more sensitive per tested cell, TagMap can interrogate 1000–2000-fold more cells and, therefore, can identify infrequent retrotranspositions. When comparing SARS-CoV-2 infection and viral nucleocapsid mRNA transfection by TagMap, retrotransposed SARS-CoV-2 sequences were only detected in infected but not in transfected cells. Retrotransposition in virus-infected cells, in contrast to transfected cells, may be facilitated because virus infection, in contrast to viral RNA transfection, results in significantly higher viral RNA levels and stimulates LINE1 expression by causing cellular stress.
