Sciguy,
There are, in fact, about 3X FEWER parts than previously predicted. Prior to the completion of the HGP, there was an estimated 100,000 genes in the human genome. It turns out there are only about 30,000.
There are indeed, but that is not what we are talking about. We are talking about the variances that are responsible for the traits that make up our individuality. Those variances were assumed to account for one tenth of one percent of the genome. Recent findings indicate that there is ten times as much.
Stop the presses! Do you mean to suggest, that YOU know (understand) the REASON we are having a harder time than predicted correlating specific genetic variants to specific disease. Please, by all means, tell us! You owe it to the rest of humanity to put us on the right track. (At least give us a hint where to look).
I have given you the hint and given you the reference. Perhaps you should read it before you make such a silly comment.
...my distinction was in response to your inability to differentiate between inheritance and disease..
Your attempt to define DNA based disease susceptibility as something other that inheritable traits is the reason for the comment.
Thanks for the reference. I'll read it and explain it to you in a subsequent post.
Perhaps after you have caught up with the current understandings of the technology you will also be kind enough to retract all of the statements you have made in error in the last few posts.
(Don't worry, no one really expects such honorable behavior from you, but perhaps you will surprise us.
regards,
frog
