Second language of DNA…

leave a comment »

Scientists have discovered that  DNA has a second  language stacked atop the one they knew about.   We’ve known for 40 years that DNA code was used to write information about proteins,  but the news is that the second,  hidden code instructs the cell on how genes are controlled.   This could drastically change our understanding of diseases and their potential cures.
