Hi Guys N Gals
Could someone please do something to expand out the heading of this forum. As it is, it tells browsers absolutely nothing about the subject and is subsequently totally overlooked. I know it took me months to get around to reading it because there was nothing to indicate the subject matter, and I'm positive a lot of the good folks here would support this cause wholeheartedly if they knew what this was all about. Can this be done????? Cheers -------------------- |

Yes we should get a mod to edit the "sub topic" to briefly describe what "folding" is.

Or maybe a new thread should be started,providing basic but important facts about Folding so more BC members can get involved.

Per your excellent suggestions I have modified the title to better reflect the subject of this thread. Thank you for your ideas. I hope you like the new title better.

Folding fact #19
Genes are sprawled over much larger regions in humans compared with fruit fly and nematode worm. Genes remain difficult to identify in humans because they form such a small portion of the genome and are so spread out, but it appears that the total number of genes is 30,000-35,000. Apparently, humans have only twice as many genes as the fly or worm, but they have on average three times as many kinds of proteins because of "alternative splicing," a process that can yield different protein products from the same gene. -------------------- Can you spare some PC cycles to help FIND A CURE ..
