I don't know, are go-to statements and code reuse a small twist in the dogma of software engineering?
Is your Python-level code directly interacting with CPU operations and memory bit flipping a small twist?
Hi-C 3D DNA structure experiments as well as small RNA fragments interfering with transcriptions and protein function are not a small twist in my opinion - it's like finding out there's an entire extra hierarchy of layers to the system.
- downerending 6y agoThose are great and non-obvious discoveries, but they don't particularly change the fact that (virtually?) all genetic information is carried via DNA. (...and possibly similar mechanisms that don't particular change the overall story)
- joycian 6y agoWell, no, it doesn't change the fact that DNA contains (most of) the information. What it means is that even if I give you all of the bases on all of the chromosomes, if you don't know how these strings of beads will fold in a real cell (in the presence of all kinds of other things, like proteins and metal ions, which in a fertilized egg will come from the mother - a bootstrapping problem), it does not get you very far. It might not be unlike getting all the lines of code in a codebase, but not getting the ordering, only a bag of lines of code.
