i reckon the study of the genome
our current understanding is actually piss poor and quite medieval. ie: if we zap this particular gene it seems to have this effect on the phenotype, so we can deduce some of it functions, but we have absolutely no idea on the mechanism it is encoded and translated, and how it interacts with other genes
does that mean we shouldnt do further study? I say: possibly. how much funding are we talking about. Will i get my own parking space?
