Yes, I know. We *are* making progress. The promoter sites are certainly a step in the right direction. However, to the best of my (admittedly limited) knowledge, given an arbitrary sequence of DNA, we cannot reliably predict which parts will be transcribed. Additionally, there is the related problem of transcription regulation--what governs when new proteins are manufactured, and in what quantities, etc. Jeff Achter | PO Box 1320 | jda@cs.brown.edu | Brown University | (this space reserved) uunet!brunix!jda | Providence, RI 02912 | jda@browncs.bitnet | (401)863-6961 |
