Document Summary
Turincy (something about turi machine, building blocks of digital computers, abstract machine) . If you studied genomes to this aspect of genes, then you can understand the organism: criticism: page 2425, at the end of the page davis and robert wineberg were questioning importance of this project. In 1991, wineberg wondered how useful this information as 95% of our genome carries little if any biological information. Hgp wanted to get a full catalogue of the protein-coding sequence but ignoring non- coding sequences. We should distance ourselves from thi(cid:374)ki(cid:374)g of ge(cid:374)es as separate, but ge(cid:374)o(cid:373)e as a u(cid:374)it. She does(cid:374)"t wa(cid:374)t to see it as a cause and effect thing, but rather a reactive system where environmental signals have an impact on what the genes do.
