Why don’t you tell me how the links you sent represent a code other than a binary on/off for reading of the DNA to Amino Acid code as I keep telling you that it is and your links agree? So other than on/off what does your new code ‘say’? What ‘information’ is in the methylated DNA other than its affinity for DNA binding proteins that will discourage transcription?

To return to the car analogy, I may not know what all the parts do, but I know it is an internal combustion engine that I pour gas into and get spinning tires. You seem to be trying to say that these ‘new codes’ are like a electric engine that kicks in on the car; but the only thing making this particular car go is the internal combustion engine. The carburetor controls how the engine burns gas, but it doens’t make the car go forward. DNA methylation and RNA Polymerase phosporylation are all important control mechanisms to modulate the functioning of the genome, but the function of the genome is to code for proteins that perform a molecular task.

Let’s work out this debate thing first, and then we can return to codes upon codes.
