Wait up -- maybe you should use a more descriptive term, like "transcription rate", i.e., what, specifically, do you consider to be "bandwidth"? Is it just the passage of mRNA out of the nucleus? What about RNA editing? Put another way: I could write a one-line program that would never terminate -- it would represent an infinite amount of "computation", yet only consist of one line's worth of program. So the length of DNA means nothing in that context (assuming more than just transcription or similar processes). -- - - - - - - - Christopher Ian Connolly connolly@cs.umass.edu Laboratory for Perceptual Robotics wa2ifi University of Massachusetts at Amherst Amherst, MA 01003
