Isn't analyzing genes similar to analyzing the bytecode/nativecode? [modified]
-
I was readin about the human genome project...the project goals were to identify 25000 genes in human DNA and then determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA. Consider creating a small game in c#...and imagine about the bytecode generated....Give the bytecode to somebody and tell them to create a C# program from it and also ask them to understand what it is doing...Donot give any knowledge about "what is bytecode" to that person:) I think analyzing genes is a similar task for those genetic engineers ... phew... And when they think about As, Ts, Cs, and Gs...it seems like they are taking about 0s and 1s.....what a task for them..:doh: Didn't He make humans sign a contract stating "Reverse engineering humans is strictly illegal" -- modified at 3:38 Wednesday 25th April, 2007

A closer analogy might be reading the raw bytes of a hard disk and trying to recreate the probrams contained on it as the genome contains a large percentage of junk (unused) DNA akin to deleted files.

Yeah, if only the human gnome had a nice handy FAT sector we could look up all those files in :-)
