lets say you have a pizza

just because you get a slice doesn't mean you understand the whole pizza

but that slice isn't very little

That’s a horrible analogy, no offense.

and also terrible analogy

We have the whole pizza because we've sequenced the whole genome

lets presume we know less than a slice of the whole enchilada

why do you think there is so much progress in forensic science?

it's because DNA evidence is considered one of the most reliable

I don't think you understand the complexity of DNA

I do

You don't

I'm a programmer

and?

lets presume DNA is a program

complex program to make stuff

I'm a biologist

I'm not sure what you think was mapped, but we don't understand how a person is made from DNA from the little mapping we did

We mailed the whole thing

sure we can say how one gene in the DNA sequence can be the cause of one thing, but we don't understand how the whole thing works together

Who doesn’t understand that? All of humanity, or just you?

Mapped

BS

its like mapping the world when you think its a globe

its mapped incorrectly

That's what they did in the 90s and 2000s

its mapped incorrectly

oh god here comes the globe

It's a simple thing of G-C A-T it's not that hard to sequence

I’d also like to remind everybody that we knew how genes worked long before we discovered the DNA molecule.

(We meaning humanity in this case)

@The18thDoctor yeah u right but the bean monk didn't get it all

we have been manipulated genes in a rudimentary way to create various types of dogs

Yeah I wasn’t just referring to Mendel.

we have a very basic understanding of it

Being able to change genes and understanding how genes work are very, very different things.

and rudimentary is where we are, we are in the 21st century with that limitation on tech, in 1 K years, we will be much much more advanced and have a better understanding of it

We have manipulated genes to grow ears on mice, we have a complex understanding of it

presuming we don't have scientists who create bogus theories that everyone buys

I'm saying we have a rudimentary understanding of it

we don't understand the human brain, we don't understand how to fix DNA defects
