DNA can't explain all inherited biological traits, research shows

Characteristics passed between generations are not decided solely by DNA, but can be brought about by other material in cells, new research shows. Scientists studied proteins found in cells, known as histones, which are not part of the genetic code, but act as spools around which DNA is wound. Histones are known to control whether or not genes are switched on.

1. aint science grand?

2. epigenetics has always had an uphill fight, but it's made all types of genetics more complex

also there's a lot of information theorists coming in ... I think the real problem is that we don't have even the vocabulary for describing all the bass-ackward stuff going on (this also gives fundies and evo-psych a way in)

I mean, the physicists had to bring in stuff from Finnegans Wake, which means Gell-Mann was reading Finnegans Wake at some point
