03/30/2008: "More "junk DNA isn't junk, actually, it's important" studies"
Genes that scientist believe are turned off are actually functioning at a low level that has previously been undetected, a discovery that could help answer questions about chronic disease and aging.
In most studies, genes that are believed to be silent are excluded from analysis in early stages of research. However, with Ptitsyn's research, genes expressed below the current measurements show the pattern of expression coordinated with other genes.
[ As the LNSG has argued for years, genes are like computer code, not multiple-choice tests. Position is more important than anything else, and whole blocks of genes refer to each other. For this reason, all the "we're 99% identical" dogma is clearly and scientifically proven to be wrong. ]
