About Me

".......Instead of thinking of the genome as a book, imagine it as a piano keyboard. Each piano key represents one gene. If you press down on a key, you hear a single note. That note corresponds to the protein that the gene specifies. If you press the key again, you will hear the same note, and again, monotonously, everytime the key is played.But if you have lots of keys, you can make music. Just so, our various cell types play upon the immense keyboard of the genome: They combine notes, playing some genes together as chords, tripping several together in a phrase, gathering bundles of notes to create the complex and wonderful effects that find expression in our biological being. Just as a pianist doesn't play all the keys in every piece, only some of the genes get played in the cells of each organ."I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
