Fascinating. I read a book about genetics recently, it was unnerving to have every part of all known life and everything we are capable of including thoughts and consciousness, coming down to just four nucleotides and how they arrange themselves.
But what complexity arises! It would take forever and a day to work this out by hand but now the machines can do it they'll be unraveling our mysteries in no time. Maybe even rewriting us? That'll be something to look forward to, Maybe.. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <turquoiseb@...> wrote : Well, *that* horse is out of the barn.
