I don't think that it is entirely safe to say epigenetics are inconsequential for Animals. DNA methylation is definitely important to development w/in a single organism, and I think it is still unclear how important it is to heredity. On a side note: I am a biochem student w/ an interest in programming.. HN has been really helped me to learn _what_ to learn about computer science. I love when I see good discussion of biology here, but I wish there was a similar online community for molecular biology / genetics. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you find a "cell-hacker news" I'd be interested to learn about it too.

  Maybe there is place for an YC startup doing X-hackers news? Cross-advertisements could get seed users, for bootstrapping the new X variants. (Starting with the present Hacker News, then going to CellHacker News, etc.) I guess lots of the code is already there.

funny, i've got the opposite (but same) problem. I'm an computer engineer, but interested in molecular biology and genetics
