The extreme complexity of DNA/RNA information control (Evolution)

This article (right hand mouse click and open in new tab or window) has been published by James A Shapiro. The article shows the multilayered information processes present in the DNA/RNA system to transmit genetic instructions and even create genetic material. 'Junk DNA' is very necessary to these processes. The original symplistic idea that DNA simply coded for protein and then phenotype is much more complicated than imagined at first. I've never been able to convince others on the list of how complex science is finding the transfer of genetic information to be. I don't think chane can create this.
