It is now clear that genetics won’t be able to answer all of our questions about human development and disease. These basic biological processes rely heavily on epigenetics – the ability to ‘fine-tune’ the expression of specific genes.
This regulation of gene expression is essential for defining cellular identity and the dysregulation of these processes results in a variety of human diseases. Therefore, understanding these mechanisms will not only enhance our basic knowledge but will also lead to the improved detection, therapy and prognoses of several human diseases.

The histone code hypothesis predicts that the post-translational modifications of histones, alone or in combination, function to direct specific and distinct DNA-templated programs.

Your spaghetti monster reminds me of Darwin’s random mutation/naturual selection god. The noodles represent random mutation, and the meatballs represent non-random selection. And look, Darwin’s god is bidding mankind adieu after having created him out of pond scum. How touching.
“I don’t know metmom, I was, frankly, confounded by GITP’s astonishingly cogent and well-reasoned arguments in posts #54 and #55. I’m thinking that I might have to give evolutionism a second look....”
Lightning is thrown by Zeus! Rain is his pee.
The funny thing is, posts 54 and 55 are YOUR arguments.
You just don’t like the light I shed on them.
I guess you’ll have to call me Lucifer now, you know, the light bringer.
A Darwinist who wants to be associated with Lucifer. Now there’s a surprise.

Nah - I don’t think there’s a Satan.
Evil lurks in mens hearts.
There is no demon monster guy whispering in peoples ears, except themselves.
Just thought I’d stop and feed the troll.
Can you?
“You can’t possibly be as dumb as you seem from your posts.”
Hey, who knows.
I could be even dumber than I seem!
Either that, or I’m way over your head.
I brought my trollsnacks! chow down.
That would be very difficult to achieve, however.
Welcome to scroll-over country, sonny!
“Welcome to scroll-over country, sonny!”
Troll full! Glad you enjoyed breakfast. Anytime bro.
Yeah. Well, that does happen when the better adapted are more apt to survive long enough to reproduce...
Nova produced show on this subject called “Ghost in your Genes”. Very interesting

I figured as much. You prefer to worship at the noodly feet of Darwin’s incredible, edible spaghetti monster.
You about owed me a new keyboard there.
Flintstones? Spaghetti?
No wonder kids in schools are doing so bad in science if that's the level it's sunk to.
I posted the cartoon because it represents what you folks think the earth was like, but with a silly twist.
You know what I think? How?
Are you suggesting that angels assemble the DNA in your body? What part of chemistry do you not understand?
Do we REALLY know they weren't?
Would I trust an evolutionist to admit to it if he ever did?
No doubt, even if one did and it got found out, they'd find SOME explanation to explain it away.
Except for the complicating fact that YOU posted them.
What was the mechanism that produced such long, complex functioning chains of DNA?
” Would I trust an evolutionist to admit to it if he ever did?”
Holy tinfoil batman.
What’s stoping the Dis-covery prostitute from going out and finding some?
I guess that changes everything, eh?
The question remains, is chemistry driven by angels, or does it follow regular laws?
