No, that would be "Genetica" which is rather different.

It's the inconsistent spelling that threw me...

"Someone objected to the new section on jenetiks being stricken with the
conclusion that genetics is the cause."

That sentences uses both words and seems to suggest they are somehow
alternatives. I could go and look it up, I guess... hang on.

It seems the word doesn't exist... Now I'm even more confused.

It appears to be an alternative spelling for genetics.

I'm in a similar position - I think this should be on the talk page
where people that have the faintest idea what "jenetiks" is might be
around.

Am I the only one for whom this is highly to specific a discussion
topic for this general mailinglist? To be honest, I'm not sure whether
I completely understood one single sentence of the below, although I
do grasp the single words...

Shouldn't that rather be moved to the article talk page or the
discussion page of the appropriate WikiProject or similar?

Best,
Michael

[WikiEN-l] The sharpest criticism of a protein-only or genetics hypothesis regarding [[prion]]

2009-03-10 Thread Jay Litwyn
Someone objected to the new section on jenetiks being stricken with the 
conclusion that genetics is the cause. I moved to strike it, because it was 
confusing. In other words, it does not make the conclusion that genetics is 
the cause, nor does it support anything it does say, so I would delete the 
section to over-rule an objection.

I was looking for a citation, because a magazine or something does not 
archive editorials. It turns out that Gajdusek did not like it when 
Prussiner introduced the word "prion" into English. If I had been looking 
for "Scrapie", then I might hav found it. It belongs in a subsection in the 
section about debate. If Prussiner can be credited with anything other than 
a Nobel prize, it is that his hypothesis tested the dominant theory that 
life requires both D.N.A. and protein to reproduce.

In a sympathetic jesture, jenetiks does hav things to say about Protease 
Resistant Protein, so I would give genetics the last word in the debate.
