Nobody is suggesting that this research has anything to do with gene expression or anything like that. Their point was simply that we now have better tools to actually see the meaning/effect of a given DNA sequence.
Also, there is no need to passive-agressively highlight your credentials. I already researched them before replying.
- Rochus 6y agoI rather think most people comment without even having a look at the referenced article. And since when is the reference to a qualification considered aggressive? If your doctor hangs his doctor's certificate on the wall, is he "passive-aggressive"? Pretty weird. > that we now have better tools to actually see the meaning/effect of a given DNA sequence Note that the "meaning/effect" of a DNA segment encoding a protein is known and unrelated to the protein folding process. The protein gets its conformation after the translation process.

- shawnz 6y ago> Note that the "meaning/effect" of a DNA segment encoding a protein [...] The "meaning" of a DNA segment is not to encode a protein. The "meaning" is to describe a mechanism in the host organism (by way of encoding a protein). That is a complex process which involves gene expression AND protein folding. For example would you say that the "meaning" of some Java code is to generate bytecode? Of course not, the "meaning" is to run some algorithm on the computer that executes it
