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.

Incredibly.
Thanks for the ping!
Someone wrote the code.
What great faith those evos display; to deny the intelligence behind a code when by their own admission it gives the *appearance* of design.
Evos are constantly demanding evidence of intelligence or design and here we have it and they even admit it and still turn around and deny it.
If natural phenomena gives the appearance of design, why make it so complicated? Why try so hard to deny the obvious? Why look for explanations to show that the appearance of design is just happenstance? They’re making it so much more complicated than it is in their desperate attempts to deny a creator.
KISS
It won’t hurt it either.
How could I forget. Using unwilling human subjects for human experimentation makes my blood boil.
Really.
[[I would say, the more we learn how “fine-tuned” life is, the more we should be looking for the possibility of a “fine-tuner.”]]
True, that would be the logical step to take, but unfortunately, that won’t happen- the Design Denialists have the ever obscure “We don’t know how it evolved, but we might one day” mantra to fall back on if explanations are not available- having an unfalsifiable hypothesis covers a multitude of biological sins it seems- and let’s never forget, those of us who look for the logical explanations based on the facts are the psuedoscientists and psuedosciecne followers while those who state time + biological mistakes answers everything (Regardless of a complete lack of evidence to back that pipedream up)- Never question the god of Naturalism- it’s advocates get ugly if you do.

Tsk Tsk- everyone knows that when 1000 violins are uncovered in an ancient ruins that they must have evolved from raw materials. Never question the god of materialism.
doh- I meant the god of naturalism- not materialsm lol- carry on
No.

All praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster and His noodly appendage!
“Someone wrote the code.”
Space aliens?
Sounds like a Kucinich theory.
actually, it does, by exposing the guys who say they know so much as frauds.
So where’d the code come from if nobody wrote it?
Surprise, surprise (not really). I recommend the Politically Incorrect Guide to Science. One chapter discusses exaggerated claims for genetic engineering, cloning, decoding the genome, and other money absorbing fads in biology that did not live up to their hype.
Actually, if it's good basic science, this can only help creationism. The more good, basic, non-politicised science we get, the more evolution is falsified and the more the field opens up for reconsideration of alternatives.
Why, just like the code for the computer programs you're using - it magically appeared abiogenetically out of nowhere, due to completely naturalistic forces!
