Model unravels rules that govern how genes are switched on and off

Dec. 4, 2008 -- For years, scientists have struggled to decipher the genetic instruction book that details where and when the 20,000 genes in a human cell will be turned on or off. Different genes operate in each cell type at different times, and this careful orchestration is what ultimately distinguishes a brain cell from a liver or skin cell.

Now, scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report they have developed a model of gene expression in yeast that predicts with a high degree of accuracy whether a gene will be switched on or off. The study is now available in the advance online publication of Nature.

For better or for worse we are not decades away but simply years away from Genetic Manipulation. I tend to lean towards it being for the worse. Yes you can Manipulate to better yourself but you can also be Manipulated to be easily controlled.

If this is the level of research that is being released to the public can you possibly imagine the level of research that we are not being told about?
