They found 22,000 genes, but there are more than 100,000 proteins. How could that be?Duh, there's a differential expression with some genetic sequences involved with more than one protein. That's ignoring epigenetics and copy number variation.

What I found interesting is the article starts out saying that half of what they taught the students was incorrect, but they don't know what half. However, later in the article, they somehow KNOW that the complexity of the DNA and protein is the result of randomness (evolution).
Hmmmm.

In 5 to 10 years, life as we know it will be turned inside-side out and up-side down. We are entering a new age as we speak that will make the previous technological advances look like child’s play.

Not really news!
I knew a gal in college who was doing the genetics curriculum.
One night she gets pretty hammered and starts ripping pages out of her books... almost everything she had been taught that semester was wrong!
And this was Mid ‘70s.
I think it had something to do with MCClintocks work.
