Scientists Discover How DNA Is Folded Within the Nucleus
mikael writes "Sciencedaily.com is reporting that scientists have discovered how DNA is folded within the nucleus of a cell such that active genes remain accessible without becoming tangled. The first observation is that genes are actually stored in two locations. The first location acts as a cache where all active genes are kept. The second location is a denser storage area where inactive genes are kept. The second observation is that all genes are stored as fractal globules, which allows genes that are used together to be adjacent to each other when folded, even though they may be far apart when unfolded."
Mod parent funny.
Who cares? Whats far more important is when Meatloaf's new scheduler is going to make it into the Linux kernel. I for one am really excited about it.
Yes, but does it run Linux on the new organic-DNA-based processors due out any day from the Monsanto gene-patent farm?
Knowledge is how to play a game, intelligence is how to win, wisdom is knowing what game to play.
And we should listen to your bullshit uneducated assumptions because? You dumb fucking hick, go back to fucking your goats, fuckface.
You got modded troll. Still think so?

While you lay scorn upon the ID drones, you yourself are a blindly anti-religion, know-it-all atheist drone, rabid with your own arrogance and over-blown sense of self. What are you really? You are not any more enlightened than the ID people; in fact, you are just as closed-minded, ignorant and extremist in your views. Only, your kind of ignorance is more insidious. You cloak yourself in the objectivity of science, even while your over-inflated, black little ego shrivels and cowers at the mere mention of true objectivity. Please tell, how are you any better than any random redneck who believes that the earth is 6000 years old?
Others have already requested that you kill yourself as efficiently as possible. I will repeat that request. Please douse yourself with gasoline, then insert a red hot bread knife up your peehole, before lighting yourself on fire, you idiotic fucktard.
