The Human Genome Project's been completed for a long time. And didn't Google recently solve the protein folding problem?
Shouldn't we have an assembler, compiler, and linker by now? What's taking so long?
- biofox 5y agoA large part of the problem is that we have no idea what the proteins do, and how, where, and when they interact with one another. It's like trying to understand Linux from just looking at the /bin directory. Simply having the executables tells us very little about the system as a whole.
