Personally I think this is WAY over-hyped, a link between double helix bendability and nucleosome binding was suspected. Inspecting 200 yeast nucleosome binding sites they found certain DNA protein sequences occurred at about 50% of the sites. They thus postulate that these DNA protein sequences allow the double helix to bend.
This is rather straight forward and is hardly the discovery of a "second code" nor does it shed any light on the mystery of cellular differentiation.
(i.e. what the cumbersome language of the article calls "the critical
but still mysterious process by which each type of human cell is
allowed to activate the genes it needs but cannot access the genes
used by other types of cell").
Personal violence is for the amateur in dominance; structural violence is the tool of the professional. The amateur who wants to dominate uses guns; the professional uses social structure. The legal criminality of the social system and its institutions, of government, and of individuals at the interpersonal level is tacit violence. Structural violence is a structure of exploitation and social injustice. It seems to survive very well the changes from a slave society, via a feudal and capitalist order, to lodge in a socialist society. (Johan Galtung)
OSWeekly by bashing net neutrality is supporting STRUCTURAL VIOLENCE against the end user (i.e. you and yours truly. OSWeekly is a PROFESSIONAL at dominance. Nobody EVER said professionals were stupid!!!

Nice graphics though.
