the dna can identify a single individual
Seems it can't always. Depends which part of the body you sample. Check this out:
Novel Genetic Patterns May Make Us Rethink Biology and Individuality
An organized design team, then?

The human cell, the very foundation of human life, possesses an intricate and highly sophisticated design
Without the WHY, WHO CARES about the mechanisms, and how could anyone possibly get to the bottom of it without finding out the WHY.
i still think that even with the mutations/chimerism (sp) one can be identified
The newfound genetic code within deoxyribonucleic acid, the hereditary material that exists in nearly every cell of the body, was written right on top of the DNA code scientists had already cracked.
Rather than concerning itself with proteins, this one instructs the cells on how genes are controlled.
"For over 40 years we have assumed that DNA changes affecting the genetic code solely impact how proteins are made," said lead author John Stamatoyannopoulos, University of Washington associate professor of genome sciences and of medicine.
"Now we know that this basic assumption about reading the human genome missed half of the picture," he said.
"Many DNA changes that appear to alter protein sequences may actually cause disease by disrupting gene control programs or even both mechanisms simultaneously."

If you ask me, there's not even a debate between intelligent design and evolution. Evolution requires Intelligent Design. You can't just look at the Phenotype and extrapolate a convoluted theory of Evolution anymore. DNA has shattered that. This is clear intelligent design.

Why science isn't legally stricken from any use of the word(design) at all, is beyond me ?
Priceless. Do I have your permission to put it on a t-shirt, randy?

This is just incredible. The genetic code instructs the regulation and production of proteins but there's a second code of regulatory sequences that control and oversee this process.
Since the genetic code was deciphered in the 1960s, scientists have assumed that it was used exclusively to write information about proteins. UW scientists were stunned to discover that genomes use the genetic code to write two separate languages. One describes how proteins are made, and the other instructs the cell on how genes are controlled. One language is written on top of the other, which is why the second language remained hidden for so long.
“For over 40 years we have assumed that DNA changes affecting the genetic code solely impact how proteins are made,” said Stamatoyannopoulos. “Now we know that this basic assumption about reading the human genome missed half of the picture. These new findings highlight that DNA is an incredibly powerful information storage device, which nature has fully exploited in unexpected ways.”
The discovery of duons has major implications for how scientists and physicians interpret a patient’s genome and will open new doors to the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
“The fact that the genetic code can simultaneously write two kinds of information means that many DNA changes that appear to alter protein sequences may actually cause disease by disrupting gene control programs or even both mechanisms simultaneously,” said Stamatoyannopoulos.

Of course people who are threatened by this discovery will try to say it's nothing and it's meaningless.

Here's more from the study.
What you're going crazy over, is knowledge that any 1st year Molecular Biology student could have told you a very very long time ago.

You did say it was meaningless.

This is just a flat out lie with one objective. The objective is to render the study meaningless. If any 1st year biology student knows this then it's no big deal.
This is just incredible. The genetic code instructs the regulation and production of proteins but there's a second code of regulatory sequences that control and oversee this process. Again, how can this evolve without intelligent design?
A regulatory sequence that controls the regulation of proteins. It's like having a Foreman overseeing the production.

He even calls them gene control programs.
What you're going crazy over, is knowledge that any 1st year Molecular Biology student could have told you a very very long time ago.
The "regulatory" aspect. What you call the "foreman overseeing the production", has been known for decades.
A TATA box is a DNA sequence that indicates where a genetic sequence can be read and decoded. It is a type of promoter sequence, which specifies to other molecules where transcription begins. Transcription is a process that produces an RNA molecule from a DNA sequence. The TATA box is named for its conserved DNA sequence, which is most commonly TATAAA. Many eukaryotic genes have a conserved TATA box located 25-35 base pairs before the transcription start site of a gene. The TATA box is able to define the direction of transcription and also indicates the DNA strand to be read. Proteins called transcription factors can bind to the TATA box and recruit an enzyme called RNA polymerase, which synthesizes RNA from DNA.

Of course you were replying to the study LOL.
This is why you tried to belittle the study
Again, you were trying to reduce the study
Instead of trying to belittle the study
is just another attempt to belittle the study.
if you feel the need to belittle the study
neoholographic
But according to you, it's nothing new. Any 1st year biology student already knows this.
