Is there more? Who knows! I keep learning more and more, and the architecture of the genome keeps baffling me with all these complex mechanisms that are intricately laced together. My next posts will focus on RNA editing, which turns out is not just a "middleman" but has many more regulatory functions than originally thought.<br /><br />One thing is for sure: we are past the time when we thought that genes were the bread and butter of genetics, and it all came down to them (traits, diseases, etc.) Life is way more complex than that!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09922888671399516573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7447544468792389936.post-60113202941825804882011-11-02T06:44:35.057-07:002011-11-02T06:44:35.057-07:00That's all kinds of interesting.

Are there more mechanisms?Steve Halterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160423930602205230noreply@blogger.com
